Summoning Stone

When any creature comes within 30 feet of one of these menhirlike stones, the stone summons a creature from another plane (as summon monster). Summoned creatures will attack anything coming within 30 feet of the stone. A summoning stone functions three times a day.

The creature summoned is set at the time of the stone’s creation. The table below indicates some typical creatures, though you may select any appropriate creature from the summon monster tables in the Player’s Handbook.

When creating a summoning stone, you may set a password or passphrase that allows characters to approach it without activating it
