Alpha's Hunting Pack
(Conjuration/Summoning)

Range:  30 yards
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  5 rounds per level
Casting Time:  1 round
Area of Effect:  Special
Saving Throw:  None

This spell summons into the wizard's vicinity a pack of canines who will fight on behalf of the wizard, if such is required. The composition of the pack will be as follows:

	D100 Roll	Pack
	01-10	4d4 jackals
	11-60	3d4 wild dogs
	61-90	2d4 wolves
	91-00	1d4 dire wolves

The pack will follow commands to the best of its ability, so long as they are relatively simple (attack, return, heel, etc.). If attacked by the wizard or his fellows, all creatures summoned will instantly disappear. The hounds can track as well as a 5th-level ranger, and can be commanded to perform this activity if it is requested of them (such as by allowing them to smell an article of clothing from the creature to be tracked, etc.). The hounds will arrive 1d10 rounds after the spell is cast. The material components are a piece of fresh, uncooked meat and a finely crafted silver or ivory hunting horn, worth not less than 100 gp, which must be sounded during the casting of the spell.
