SummonASM
Tired of summoners being considered inferior to druids? Are they falling behind in EXP? No more!
This hack will allow you your summoners to gain EXP (and level up) from their phantoms’ battles.

I was a little too lazy to make another phantom character oof.
Tested with anims on and anims off (Yes, they use completely different level up systems.).
This has been written for a very long time, but now irrelevant previous arrangements are now null. Just now I’ve had the chance to clean it up a bit.
How to: Make phantoms more than sad cannon fodder.
As always, download the whole “SummonASM” folder from the Dropbox in the OP. Installation is easy. Just include “Summon.event”.
This hack uses the Summon Character Table to find the summoner that created the phantom for granting EXP and level ups. This is a vanilla table! If you are creating custom summoners, ensure that you are installing this CSV (included in the Dropbox). If you’re already working with custom summoners, you should already be using this.
In case you want to repoint this table:
ORG $2442C
POIN SummonCharacterTable
ORG $244A0
POIN SummonCharacterTable + 1
ORG $7AD54
POIN SummonCharacterTable
ORG $7AE00
POIN SummonCharacterTable
ORG $7AE04
POIN SummonCharacterTable + 1
That’s it. This hack should be very user-friendly and easy to install. It DOES NOT conflict with the skill system for once.
No go and promote to summoner without fear of EXP loss, and make good use of phantoms as interesting strategical pawns. As always, please find me with issues or bugs!
