Yeah, they got rid of them. They got rid of Familiars, animal companions, cohorts, summon monsters, summon natures ally, planar binding and planar allies.

My thoughts on the edition exactly. They believe the only things that make a good RPG are necessary things. Since wizards were their, sorcerers were unnecessary, but that doesn't make excluding them a good thing. At all.

But now combat is so simple! Isn't 4E great?
I believe there's still a ritual that let's you summon something, if it's a consolation.

Summoning
Yeah... I was bummed about the lack of summoning. So was my friend. TO an extent that after 3 2-hour sessions, I'm making a summoner class
It's harder than I thought it would be, in context, having to pore through the MM and finding appropriate creatures... then lining that up with daily/encounter/ at will powers... It makes my head hurt :laugh:
Anyways, I can post it in this thread when I'm done if you like. It will still probably still need playtest/revision...
