Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gaiden" data-source="post: 689225" data-attributes="member: 103">That is a house rule if instituted for a summon spell.  That is the case for a summon planar ally spell, though.Those who suggest clerics should not make regular use of this tactic are IMO arbitrating DM powers based on their interpretation on what "should" and "should not" happen in their games.  Why shouldn't a cleric use this tactic often?  It seems to me, that if a cleric is sending a message to a church it has to do with their faith.  It is not the same as using the archon to send a message to the local tailor to have a special outfit made for a party or something of the like.  Why would a lantern archon have a problem being a messenger every day and not have a problem fighting for the cleric?  According to the same logic, the lantern archon might get annoyed at constantly being bothered to help the cleric defeat some mundane monstrous threat or the like.If I were a player in such games I would be hardpressed to buy the argument that the archons don't have time for me - especially when I am using them in a fashion that is much more directly correlated to my faith than fighting some creature that may have absolutely nothing to do with my faith.Here is just another example of trolling on player's innovations and creativity.</blockquote>
