Good outsiders/planar allies to summon?

Ghaele Eladrin are actually quite awesome. :)

My Sorceress in one campaign used Planar Binding to enlist their help quite regularily. :D

Leonal Guardinals are also very good, as are Trumpet Archons, of course.

How do you handle the bargaining aspects of the Planar Binding? Or is that just not really an issue with your Sorc's charisma. I've found the charisma check makes the spell essentially useless for a Wiz.
 

For one, yeah, the high Cha makes that spell a lot more useful.

And then, I often used Magic Circle against Evil (in fact, the only Magic Circle spell I had available) to make the diagram when calling good-aligned creatures (being good-aligned myself), thus effectively not trapping the creature.

Upon its arrival, I would then say something like: “Welcome, and excuse the rude method of calling you; I have no other means. As you see, you are here as a guest and free to go at your leisure; the diagram won't hold you. But first, please, listen to what I have to say, because we need your help against an evil foe.”

Bye
Thanee
