W00t!A planar binder Sor13 might almost have a leader-cohort relationship built up with a creature such as a trumpet archon: whenever you go out on a dangerous adventure, you call him. If your adventures tend to be typical D&D evil-bashing, he shouldn't even be too mad afterwards for your forcing him to come along you.And if a trumpet archon isn't enough, cast planar binding again, call another one. And another... until you have as many of these flying spell resistant energy resistant outsider ECL 20 warrior-clerics as you need.But there are some pretty twinkish things that can be done, even above and beyond merely building an army of minions. For example, summon a glabrezu and demand that he cast his 1/month wish for you for his freedom. His Cha bonus is +5, while a Sor13 might have +7 and a circlet of persuasion, for +10. That's about 75% chance to persuade the demon on the first day!So at 13th-level, you get a wish at the cost of a few sorcerer spell slots and a pissed off glabrezu, who can't even plane shift to get revenge on his onw. And if he manages, it's a CR 13 monster, nothing you and your party shouldn't be able to handle.But the really twinkish part is that you're able to do this a couple of times *each day*. If you don't ask for a specific individual, but just call "a glabrezu", you should get a different one each time, and hopefully the new Sure, you can build quite an army of enemies that way, but it's 2-3 wishes per day for a 13th-level character, at no material/XP cost whatsoever. And you have an army of archons to defend you... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So that this wouldn't be just a rant, a couple of questions: any fun uses (or abuses!) of planar binding/ally you have experienced? Any house rules to prevent abuses? Any good non-obvious choices of monsters to call?</blockquote>
