Enhancement bonus applies to Summons?

[Alvoros]

It *seems* to me that from reading the PHBII that when you attack with a summoned creature (talking about an Invoker here) that YOU (the invoker) are making the attack, and therefore the summoned creatures attack gets to use your magical implement bonuses to hit, damage, property effects, critical hit bonus dice etc. etc.

Can someone confirm for me this is the case?

Reason being is that my Fire Angel crit'd an enemy last game, and it makes a big difference with the to-hit bonus, critical hit damage dice etc. My DM allowed the extra damage, but no one was 100% sure.

Yes, your summoned creatures basically use all the same bonuses to attack and damage as you yourself do for your other spells. Attacks with them are also implement attacks - hence the Implement keyword - and can be modified accordingly, including crits.

yeah, the summons have the implement keyword so your implement enhancement bonus counts.

However, stuff that is a temporary bonus (say, the invoker gets a power bonus to hit a particular creature) does not confer to the summoned creature.
