[QUOTE="F5, post: 1164141, member: 4607"] Bit of a hijack, but I've found this is a great way to give characters who have fallen a few levels behind the rest of the party some bonus experience. Have a caster on another plane summon the character for a big fight, and give them 1/2 XP for the encounter (only 1/2 because the character isn't in any real danger of dying). You can also plant some great plot seeds in this kind of encounter. This could serve as an explanation as to why some creatures might not be so upset about being summoned; they gain valuable experience and knowlege of the material plane and its' inhabitants. Not all summonable creatures will have this attitude, but some will, as long as the summoner has compatible goals with the creature. And I agree that a DM could bring down some holy retribution on casters who summon celestials to do vile deeds. It's more likely that the celestials' more powerful allies will come seeking revenge than an evil creaures' allies would. If you summon a demon you run the risk of the demon being mad at you. If you abuse a summoned lantern archon, he rounds up his Hound and Trumpet Archon friends and they come looking for you...that threat would be enough to keep most evil casters from indescriminate celestial summoning.
