[QUOTE="Henry, post: 205815, member: 158"] This falls into one of those categories where rules-lawyering taken to its extreme is a bad thing. I agree that if dominated foes and summoned monsters cannot be commanded to kill themselves, then why would a gated creature be, ESPECIALLY when the spell speaks of "rewards" and whether or not they are attached to the service. Second, you cannot shapechange into a unique creature, SUCH as the tarrasque (but then, some Bioware site posters pointed that one out). Any DM that would allow it has some quite strange motives for doing so, indeed. "You want gate to work that way? Fine... BAM! Suddenly, a swirling portal of magic energy appears before you. You feel strangely compelled to enter, and when you do, you find yourself standing before your arch-enemy, Malaprops the Evil Priest, along with a host of horned devils. Malaprops looks at you evilly... 'Good day, hero. Do me a favor, would you? HOLD STILL.' HE then grins evilly as he draws a long ceremonial knife..." :D [/QUOTE]
