That Pitfiend may blast the area with a Meteor Swarm... Or destroy artifacts of great worth in the process...Or suggest that he should go and disembowel the reinforcements he hears in the passageway... Only for you to discover after the fact the reinforcements weren't your enemies at all... It is not a mindless automaton you are summoning, but a primal Evil force, with a hatred and desire for destruction that far surpasses anything the character himself is capable of.As to information providing, any information given freely by a CE being should be treated with grave distrust. These creatures are the masters of lies and deceit. How can you trust them? There is nothing in the spell compelling them to act truthfully. You compel them to attack, or perform other actions to the best of their abilities. But they are in no way bound by your intent... only your word...</blockquote>
