Notes

• There is an unused blueprint for a summoned elder earth elemental that differs from the standard creature in that it has only 20 hit dice. This lowers its saves and attack bonus by 2. The ResRef of this unused creature is nw_s_earthelder and its challenge rating is 16.
  • This unused blueprint was originally used by the summon creature IX spell, but it was deemed unsuitable due to its tendency to get stuck behind doorways in dungeons.
