The binder lets the entity cohabit in his body by <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ToMagic_Gallery/96017.jpg" target="_blank">drawing a sigil</a> and doing a small ritual. The binder gets special powers out if it and the bound entity is so happy to be in the real world, it usually behaves itself. Usually*. Basically each binding is like a creature from the omnitrix.* If you roll badly when making the sigil, the entity gets to make you do certain, usually minor things. Otiax on the other hand will make you open all doors and locks you encounter, even the ones that lead right to the Far Realm or read  "Do Not Open Until Doomsday!" Which probably suits Otiax just fine since all signs indicate It is really  [spoiler]Yog-Sothoth[/spoiler].<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/184715-binder-issues.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/184715-binder-issues.html</a>BTW if you pick up that book, keep it away from anyone who dislikes occult stuff. The art direction for the binder chapter borrows from <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4art/20060310a" target="_blank">occult imagery</a>, notably each binding sigil and a <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ToMagic_Gallery/96075.jpg" target="_blank">few critters</a>.</blockquote>
