summon power

[Kefrem]

i have a friend who wanted to play a character that can summon and control a swarm of bees...ive made the base character...gave him summon..and we did up what the swarm is...however...does he gain control over the swarm automatically? or does he need to buy mindcontrol for the swarm/bees?

[Derek Hiemforth]

He does not automatically control it. He can try to persuade it to help him, Mind Control it, etc. Or he can buy an Advantage on Summon that makes it friendly. There's a lot of information in the Summon power description about this... too much to go into in detail here. Read the whole Summon write up on pages 142-144 of H5E. :)
