Hey everyone, I'm running a campaign and we just hit level 5. It's a Faerun setting, and with regards the Conjure Animals spell, what are some fair choices? I want to avoid 8 velociraptors and other encounter breaking options.

What are some good mid-level choices that feel good for the player but don't break the game? How does everyone handle this spell?

Bears, wolves/direwolves, giant eagles, hell the druid in the game I run summoned an auroch and rode it into combat once. I limit it to beasts the player has encountered personally or would reasonably know enough about their anatomy to summon, and then just limit what I expose them to.

As far as preventing cheesing with 8x small beasts and turning the battlefield into chaos? I recommend enemies with AOE attacks to clear the field.
