Beast Call

Feats

Starting at 1st level, a beast tamer can cast summon nature's ally I as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. She can cast this spell as a standard action, and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level). At 3rd level and every 2 bard levels thereafter, the power of this ability increases by 1 spell level, allowing her to summon more powerful creatures (to a maximum of summon nature's ally IX at 17th level). A beast tamer cannot have more than one summon spell active in this way at a time; if she uses another, any existing summon immediately ends.
