This is not something that can really be helped unless we turn around and say that all forms of creature xx came into being this way for all settings and worlds, which is not something we want to do as it removes a lot of flexibility for the GM when you do that.In the basic HARP rules, Gryphons are not sentient. In the setting (Cyradon) that we are working on, we made them sentient. Again, I would like to point out that it would have to depend on the setting and how it defines creatures.My "ruling" is nothing more than my interpretation of the spells. In my own setting I would have Gryphons an non-sentients, and thus able to be created via the Conjure Creature spell, where in Cyradon, having them be sentient, they could not be created using the spell. Same interpretation applied to two different sets of circumstances.As for creating a bi-pedal energy construct, cool, that is a nifty idea for a new spell. (We ended up cutting about 1/3 of the spells from College of Magics during editing, many of which will find their way into other products, such as the Mystic and Sorceror who will show up in our book on the dark side of magic called, "Something Wicked", due out in mid-2005 and written by Jonathon Cassie.We also have a PDF product coming out during the early part of 2005 to be called the HARP Grimoire, which will have lots of new spells, so the bi-pedal Conjuration would be a good place for it. I will have to suggest that to the author...  <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=":)" /></blockquote>
