Page values for "Shadow Gate"

First, it creates a portal between the Titans' Corpus and The Shadow, allowing travel between those two planes in either direction.

Second, you may then call a particular individual or kind of being through the gate.

The gate itself is a circular hoop or disk from 5 to 20 feet in diameter (caster’s choice) oriented in the direction you desire when it comes into existence (typically vertical and facing you). It is a two-dimensional opening into The Shadow, and anyone or anything can move through freely to the other side.

A gate has a front and a back. Creatures moving through the gate from the front are transported to The Shadow; creatures moving through it from the back are not.

Calling Creatures: The second effect of the gate spell is to call an extraplanar creature to your aid. By naming a particular being or kind of being as you cast the ritual, you cause the being to become aware of the ritual, and it may begin moving towards where the gate will open under its own power. You may pass a short message to the creature in question to entice it to make the journey. If the creature has 2 Intelligence or lower it will instinctually move towards the location of gate. You do not automatically control a creature summoned in this way. An uncontrolled being acts as it pleases.

This use of the ritual has an additional material cost of 10,000 gp in rare incense and offerings.

If you choose to call a kind of creature instead of a known individual, you may call either a single creature or several creatures. In either case, their total HD cannot exceed twice your ritual caster level.
