So how exactly does a Shifter differ from a PFRPG style Summoner? I have always been kind of confused on that distinction...GJ.

Well the Shifter is essentially the Summoner... or at least a variation of one. But the Shifter is also much more. In Megaverse Builder, the Shifter has much more keen dimensional travel abilities (including sensing dimesional anomalies, dimensional central nexus, dimesional teleporting, and sense open water... uh skip that last one...)...

The differnece is the the summoner can only summon creatures and use circles of protection and and powerr summoners are also known as circle mages plus summoneres are better at summoning and controlling creatures and they do not bond to entities

The biggest difference is that Summoners don't cast spells. Instead they create magic circles.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.
