Eagles who have flown away during combat can be called back as a standard action outside combat.My question is this -- can a character voluntarily dismount an Eagle and then summon them back at another time within the duration?   Given that it doesn't say either way this question is really more of a "would you allow it in your campaign?"  And if not, would you let the characters hang out on the eagle's back and try to get hit in combat quickly such that they can keep the eagle for later on?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> (As way of further exploring the reason I'm asking is I have a druid in a campaign I run and I am contemplating letting the druid cast the ritual and be able to wild shape into a giant eagle.  This gives him some benifit (for one it's a better disguise than riding the back of a spirit eagle) but I think that would be alright and not create an overpowered situation (since he'll be wild shaped he'd have to only use beast powers, and if he gets hit he'd still have to land, and he'd still get the -4 penalty while flying).  But!  The ritual lasts 12 hours... if he were to cast the ritual in the morning if the above question is allowed then he'd have access to a bird wild shape all day.  I still don't think that's a problem, but I want to crowdsource a larger answer <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />not_me</blockquote>
