Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 657626" data-attributes="member: 1328">The MM entry for Devils (general) explain Summon Baatezu in detail. The summoning lasts 1 hour, and summoned devils can't use their summoning ability for 1 hour after being summoned... In other words, they can't.Same thing for Demons and summon tanar'ri.It also state that devils are loath to owe favors to other devils and will use it only if in dire need.Same thing for Demons.If you happen to have the Manual of the Planes, it's the same tune again for Summon Yugoloth, and in addition, there's a constant percentile chance the summoned 'loth will turn against its summoner and then ask the summoner's enemies for a reward...Finally, whether you use a calling or a summoning spell to get allies is out of the equation -- any ally you can have is included in your CR. This also include animal companions, special mounts, familiars, cohorts and followers.You would get the XP for a wizard and an elder earth elemental if both were your enemies and chosed to oppose you; not if the wizard had to expand one of his spell slots (and spell known, also) to get a buddy that didn't cared about the PCs before.</blockquote>
