📋 About This Mod
NEW UPDATE: Now the mod is separated and has 3 toggleable passives. if you don't enable any of the passives then nothing changes. There's a passive to enable AI on the newly summoned, there's a passive to give them all common player actions when they're summoned and there's a passive to scale their stats up to your level when they are summoned. You can freely toggle which passives you want by clicking them to turn them on.
Default Scaling: Adds all common player actions (shove, sneak, help, throw etc) to any summoned entities as well as apply a scaling buff to all of them which means that they will have +1 health per the summoner's level (multiclass works fine so lvl 3 fighter and lvl 5 druid will give +8 health) and also increase the damage by +1 per the summoner's proficiency level so for example a level 10 player with a proficiency bonus of 4 will give +4 damage to any damage the summoned creature inflicts. This scaling was removed in favor of the new optional scaling.
AI Passive: when toggling this passive on, any newly summoned creatures will immediately be put under the summon AI from my other
mod 'AI Allies'. Installing the mod is not required but if you do, you'll be able to freely disable and re-enable the AI even after summoning.
Scaling Passive: when toggled will make any newly summoned creatures get another buff that will grant them +1 to all abilities per your level and also 3 your level to their HP. Summons' movement points will also be increased by 3.
Optional Item Changes file includes the following changes to items:
- []increased the radius of the Undead Ward aura from the Circle of Bones since it was too small to be useful (to me anyways).
- also removed the 'Mad' effect from Abyss Beckoner gloves so your summons don't need to succeed a wisdom saving throw or attack friendlies.
Scratch optional file: buffs scratch's health to a base of 19 as well as a small increase to some stats and giving him some feats such as "Lucky, Mage Slayer and Sentinel" so you could sic him on any concentrating mages to help break their spell (a dog gnawing on my foot would definitely harm my concentration) or position him defensively to help out your party.
Also adds him to the Find Familiar spell, makes it a ritual and changes cooldown to once per combat.
Shovel optional file: buffs shovel's health to a base of 21 and also gives him the 'Dungeon Delver' feat which makes sense as he's been in a dungeon/basement for god knows how long, additionally gave him an Extra Attack, he will also get the War Magic passive and an eldritch blast to go with it, so shovel can either attack with claws twice a turn or eldritch blast and then use 1 claw attack with a bonus action. these changes should make him integral to the party in and out of combat.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 315 endorsements and 48k downloads show it's a proven, popular mod.
- Frequent updates (last updated Sept 2024) mean it's actively maintained.
- Scaling buff keeps summons relevant as you progress, solving a common late-game issue.
⚠️ Cons
- Limited info on which actions are added or how the buff scales—could be vague in-game.
- May conflict with other summon overhaul mods that alter creature AI or stats.
For Skyrim players who rely on summons and want them to be more versatile and powerful. If you're a conjurer who's tired of summons being useless in combat, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or use heavy summon overhauls that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your mod manager for conflicts with other summon mods—load order matters.
- Test with a low-level summon first to see how the buff scales before relying on it.
- If you use Ordinator or other perk overhauls, verify compatibility on the mod page.
