Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spatula" data-source="post: 591057" data-attributes="member: 2198">I wouldn't have a problem with it (nor with switching around the alignment of the Fiendish animals between LE and CE), as the good/evil templates, at least, are just mirror images of each other.  The law/chaos templates have the same CR adjustments as the good/evil ones and should be okay as well.  But I have seen DMs who didn't want to mess with what was printed in the PHB, I guess thinking that the template choices are a part of the balance of the spell.For example, at most levels the clear-cut best choice for a combat summons (from among the list of templated creatures at that level) is a Fiendish creature, which means (a) good clerics can't summon them, and (b) those creatures can only Smite Good - which typically isn't very useful for the PCs.</blockquote>
