[QUOTE="THAC0, post: 190717, member: 4587"] I'm not sure if I understand this correctly... I have a player who is Chaotic Neutral Cleric of Oldimmarra (sp?)... He wanted to cast Summon Monster II and summon a Lemure. The description of the spell states that summoning that type of creature makes the spell be considered Chaotic Evil (or was it Lawful Evil? I forget...). Anyway, I ruled that it is against his alignment to do so and that he would have to summon something non-evil or his alignment might change because he would be technically casting an "evil spell". So he went ahead and summoned a Celestial Eagle instead... So my question is, how does this work? When a character wants to Summon a Creature that isagainst their alignment (ie Lawful Good Cleric trying to summon a Chaotic Evil creature). Do you allow this but change that player's alignment? Does their god refuse to allow them to summon that creature? What if the player is True Neutral? Can they only summon TN creatures? I am confused on how the alignment of the summoned creature affects the outcome of the spell or the alignment of the caster. [/QUOTE]
