What is the game balance reasoning for only being able to summon specific creatures of a specific alignment? What is the flavor/fluff reasoning?
For example, a fiendish hawk is CE. Why? Moreover, why can we not summon a LE or NE fiendish hawk or a celestial hawk?
I'm always running into problems of "you can't do that" when dealing with cleric summoners, due to the alignment restrictions. It doesn't seem like any issue at all to change it up at will, so why bother with the set list in the first place?
What are negative impacts of allowing clerics to summon celestial versions of certain critters on these lists?
