Indeed, that would obviously be better for summoning. As it is now, you only get 1D3 for your general (if Slann or Starseer) and 1D3 for the Astrolith. Then, it's 1D3 per Slann or Oracle each burning 1 spell (or maybe more than one if this interpretation is correct).not trying to be a rules lawyer. but since its currently open to interpretation the battle tome reads... : In your hero phase, before attempting to cast the first spell with each friendly SLAAN or ORACLE, you can say that it will carry out a celestial conjuration. if you do so. you receive D3 ccp but the number of spells which that model can cast in that phase is reduced by one... there is nothing restricting you from doing this multiple times it just has to be before you cast the first spell with a model. at least thats how i am currently interpreting it.
If fielding 1 Slann (general), 1 Astrolith and 1 Oracle (660 pts total); that's either 4D3/turn (avg. 6 CCP) or a potential 6D3/turn (avg. 9 CCP).
If fielding 1 Slann (general), 1 Slann, 1 Astrolith and 1 Oracle (920 pts total); that's either 5D3/turn (avg. 7.5 CCP) or a potential 9D3/turn (avg. 13.5 CCP).
If fielding 1 Kroak (general), 1 Slann, 1 Astrolith and 1 Oracle (980 pts total); that's either 5D3/turn (avg. 7.5 CCP) or a potential 10D3/turn (avg. 15 CCP).
EDIT: Obviously, if you want to go heavy summoning, then I think having a Starseer as your general might be a waste of points (since he can't do anything other than help generate the initial D3).
EDIT2: Since Slann & Oracle cost the same you could go Kroak, Slann, Slann, Slann, Slann, Astrolith for either 7D3 or 18D3 (avg. 27)! Lol. The look on someone's face when you put 5 Slann on the table. But that also costs 1500 points.
