Alternate Summoning Rules

[Sammael99]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had devised and/or seen alternate summoning rules for D&D. Let me explain : I love the Vancian feel of summoning, ie. you don't summon meet, you summon an intelligent creature that you either force to do your bidding or negociate with.

Has anyone thought about how this could work in a D&D environment ? Do you have a specific spell for each type of creature ? How do you force the creatures to obey ? What powers do true names have ? Etc.

Sounds like the Planar Ally spells (Lesser, Greater).
