[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 3460735, member: 114"] I don't know anything about the malconvoker, so I don't know whether there is anything specific to them about 'service and reward'. Divine casters use the planar ally range, which all require payment for service Arcane casters use the planar binding range which are more risky but allow compulsion into service, with rewards being offered to increase the chance of compulsion working. Some things that I'd like a summoner to be able to do would be things like a) if preparing for a big fight, and there is plenty of time, Summon a creature to help for the duration of the fight. b) summon a teleporting outsider to get it to deliver a message or small item to a particular place or location (or to perform a spying/gather information mission for you) c) summon an outsider that has certain desired spell like abilities and get it to cast them on my behalf (e.g. summoning a celestial that can 'raise dead' or cast other useful clerical spells that an arcane caster can't normally obtain). d) more difficult, but demand a service which is something like "stay with me until you complete one battle on my behalf". I don't know what would be the best way of phrasing it, your DM might give you hints or might require you to try different versions until you get what you want(!). The aim would be to have an ally available to help you in one fight, and you specify which fight it is, but the ally won't be around for more than 1 day/level. Cheers [/QUOTE]
