Invocationer

The Invocationer is a character class found in various role-playing games and fantasy settings. This archetype is characterized by its ability to summon and command otherworldly entities, creatures, or spirits to aid them in combat or other endeavors. Unlike traditional spellcasters who directly manipulate magical energies, the Invocationer's power stems from their pacts, rituals, or innate connection to these summoned beings.

The specifics of an Invocationer's abilities vary widely depending on the game system. Typically, they can call forth familiars, elementals, demons, angels, or other supernatural allies. These summoned entities often possess their own unique strengths, weaknesses, and attack patterns, requiring the Invocationer to strategically deploy them. The success of an invocation might depend on the Invocationer's proficiency, the strength of their will, or the resources expended.

Invocationers often face narrative challenges related to the nature of their summoned allies. Depending on the origin of these entities, an Invocationer might have to contend with the potential for betrayal, the moral implications of their pacts, or the strain of maintaining control. This adds a layer of complexity to the class, balancing potent offensive or defensive capabilities with potential drawbacks and role-playing opportunities.
