I plan on using the lesser planar binding spell, and calling Outsiders and Elementals of animal inteligence  or inherent evil. Im not under the impresion that that would make their slaughter ok, it just sits better with me. The corpes would be animated with the animate dead spell, and controled by a variety of means.The only rules questionable area is the use of templates. There are a bunch of templates for use with most creature types, that could allow custom ordered creatures. For example, if I wanted a WilloWisp skeleton (magical flight is retained) then I would use a planar ally spell to summon one with a Elemental template, kill it with prepared spells/traps/poisens etc, and reanimate it. This seems really powerful, and if allowed potentially unbalancing. Obviously this cant happen without DM approval, as there may not even be any such creature in the infinate streatches of the planes, but given the discriptions I have read most creatures should have th plannar equivalents, thats what the templates are for. Furthermore, the use of Shades or of certain Shadow Prc ablities to emulate a callling spell, would eliminate the argument aginst ordering any thing you wanted. Sure the creature would be less powerful and robust, but since it is being created out of shadow instead of called from another plane, it should be whatever the creator creates it as. A differnt problem arises with the question of class levels.Can a caster specify that the called creature have Sorcerer levels , withen the HD limit of the spell?    I would like to have custom made monsters, but only if it isnt unbalancing.What do you guys think?</blockquote>
