Seeing how the summoner class is getting some work, I thought it needed its own NPC :D



The summoner
index.php

The summoner is a non-hardmode NPC that spawns under these requirements:

-You have at-least 200 max life
-You have 4 other NPC's housed
-You must be wearing some/any sort of summoner armor (Ex. Bee armor, tiki armor)
-The queen bee must be defeated

The summoner himself ALWAYS has one raven with him, and depending on the time of day, he will gain more pets. The pets are NOT aesthetic, and will do damage. However once hardmode starts, his pattern will change.

6:01 AM - 12:00 PM- 1 Raven, 1 slime (HARDMODE: 1 Raven, 2 spiders)
12:01 PM - 4:00 PM- 1 Raven, 2 slimes, 1 hornet (HARDMODE: 1 Raven, 3 pirates)
4:01 PM - 8:00 PM- 2 Ravens, 1 hornet (HARDMODE: 3 Ravens, 4 Pygmy's)
8:01 PM - 12:00 AM- 1 Ravens, 2 imps, 1 slime (HARDMODE: 2 Ravens, 1 set of twins, 3 spiders)
12:01 AM - 6:00 AM- 1 Raven, 1 slime, 1 hornet, 1 imp (HARDMODE: 1 Raven, 2 spiders, 1 pirate, 1 Pygmy, 1 set of twins)

*The summoner will refer to his main raven (The one he keeps with him) as Cthulhu

Great ideas and concepts. I will look forward to seeing more NPC ideas. Sprites would be incredible, if you had the time. Since the Summoner class is getting more and more popular and bigger, I support the use of a Summoner NPC.

Originality: 3/5. Execution: 4/5. Elaboration 4/5. Ideas 4/5.

Thanks :D I'm actually looking for something to use for spiriting atm, but since I'm on a mac I can't find anything that you don't need to pay for, and isn't crap
 
I support it, seems like a really useful NPC to have around, especially for summoner class players. I also enjoy the mechanic of feeding pets, I'm not sure if that is your own concept or if it's a new feature coming out already but it's neat.

[Pixen is pretty good you should try that for spriting and its free. How do you have terraria on a mac?
 
Most of this sounds interesting, although I wouldn't support an aggressive npc unless that was a standard behavior in 1.3. Overall, though, it's an interesting idea.
 
Nice idea, great content, it's just the name that's kind of iffy. See, the Arms Dealer isn't called the Ranger. I know that there's separate smaller Ranger classes, but still. A better name would help.

Animal Tamer or Zookeeper maybe?
 
Great idea!
The summoner class really needs to move up from a subclass to a real class, so any idea that helps it is welcome (for me at least).
 
The weapons that this NPC sells can be logically added into the game without needing a special NPC for them. The potions that he sells are quite overpowered (Magic Power only provides a 20% boost, and it's the strongest damage buff I can think of) and also don't need to be sold by an NPC to be added into the game.

Basically, I support mostly everything except for the NPC itself.
 
Interesting, I am waiting a while before I do a true summoner play-through. Primarily for a bit more to be added/ waiting for it to be more refined.
