The Summoned Creature Quick Reference

I've gathered most of the information about the Summoned Monsters and the spells required to cast them and various other aspects of them for ease of use and 'lowering the learning curve'.

My question is, would people rather have a seperate "Summoned Creatures Quickref" or all inclusive of a spell reference.

Please note that the complete spell reference is going to be HUGE and it wouldn't be quick anything. The best way to find spells is via a database. But a Summoned Monster one is fairly small. If I really feel ambitious I could extract the sprites for the monsters and place them next to the spell, but I'm not much of an Adober and PDF's are the crossplatform standard so I'd need someone to help with that if I did it (On the same note, if someone wants to help with that, I have the icons for the spell path requirements as well and they could help me with putting them on the MIQR if they feel ambitious)

Any preference?

Edit: On a side note while I'm editing the MIQR, do people want Wishable items included along with stats? Solaris' gear and such?

You go, girl! Boy. Einstein. Whatever.

I like the idea of a summoned creature guide. There are so many spells in this game, I get lost, and summons are a major tool all by themselves, critically important for many races.

I think the tactics and strategy involving summoned creatures is seperate from thinking about what spells to cast. I would vote for a seperate "summoning" reference.

If that seems small then maybe it could be "spells cast in the lab" to include globals and such. That way the other one can be combat spells. You would use the reference for when thinking about scripting your commanders in combat.

I'd rather have it separate. I'd also like to know the upkeep cost for each creature, but that's a lot of work.

I think they should be included under a separate section of some sort, as they are still possible to achieve.

Ditto.

Also secondary question.

Does everyone like the format of the MIQR as far as path and school requirements? I'm thinking of doing it by Path, and breaking it up by school level. And a seperate one for "Multi-path" so it's a little more 'quickrefish'.

Or is there an easier way to do it that people feel would fit how they think about it?
