>how do you balance it
I don't. I run games. I don't design them. It isn't my job to balance it, it is supposed to come prebalanced in the book.

Why would it be a problem compared to anything else in the system? What system are you using?

It can be unbalanced but it's fun and that's more important.

Make it a rule that there can only be so many summons controlled by one summoner at the same time. Either that, or make it extremely costly. Action economy is king in turn based combat, so if you want to balance things you should prevent near exponential growth of actions-per-turn because the PC has summoned ten demons that all attack individually and do respectable damage.

Making it require actions from the summoner to command the summon tends to be plenty. Obviously there's other factors like the cost to summoning, duration, and the maximum distance you can be from a summon while still commanding it, but the key part is that you're exchanging one character's actions for a new temporary character.

Whenever I've experimented with summons, I've limited them to one instance of summoning effect at a time per caster, while highly specialized summoners might get a second instance, in exchange for being severely weak with their own powers.

The way I usually handle it is that any time creatures are summoned, I take some enemies of equivalent power off the turn order and handwave that the summons are busy fighting those enemies until the end of the combat. I don't do that D&D shit of shitting up the turn order and slowing down combat so one player's half a dozen summons can take turns. Fuck that brainrot.
