CE Cleric sumoning LE creature?

[smetzger]

Can a CE Cleric of a CE god summon a LE creature?

This would be a Lawful and an Evil spell. From the SRD: "Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to his own or to his deity's"

So is it opposed or not?

My feelings are that it is not. But wanted some more opinions.

Yes, it's opposed. There's no difference in terms of game mechanics between the good/evil axis and the law/chaos axis.

Can a CE Cleric of a CE god summon a LE creature?

Of course he can.

Well, if by "Cleric", you mean "Wizard".

Otherwise, no.

A Chaotic cleric or a cleric of a Chaotic deity cannot cast spells with the [Lawful] descriptor.

An Evil cleric or a cleric of an Evil deity cannot cast spells with the [Good] descriptor.

Summoning a Lawful creature is a spell with the [Lawful] descriptor, so as a Chaotic cleric, he can't do it.

no way. would you let a CE cleric summon a CG creature?

 

[Hjorimir]

Pretty sure that spell would have a [Good] descriptor. So, provided I'm correct, no he cannot.

Yup, it is opposed - two alignments are opposed if either element is opposed.

A CE cleric of a CE deity can summon creatures that are CN, TN, NE, or CE. Anything else would have either en element of law or good, and thus be opposed.
