EXACTLY...
my party struggles until my cleric gets to access 3rd level spells... then the fun begins.
its just soooo satisfying seeing some summoned "fodder" adsorb damage that was meant for yours truly.
one of my fave tactics is to send a couple summoned critters forth, which the enemy attacks. a web or stinking cloud or something is cast at his feet, then my party pincushions the opposition with anything i can get my hands on... arrows, stones, fireballs u name it. care not at all about the poor hapless summoned sucker caught in the middle. when he inevitably dies, forward goes the next group of summoned critters!
just one summoned skeleton or monster, if used correctly, can last a long time and be tactically extreemly useful.
