[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 907769, member: 53"] Well, perhaps this was a bad example :) My point is that that large of a choice of creatures give you a large amount of flexibility in non-combat situations. IMO, non-combat situations are where you want flexibility the most. Does your target has a fiendish elephant as a companion? Let's scare it off with a celestial mouse. Do you step through a Gate and find yourself in Mythical Egypt? Summon yourself a celestial cat to gain yourself a few friends. Also, I personally feel that each caster having a "signature creature list" adds to the fun of the game, too. An axiomatic ant swarm attacked the kings ship in port? Our archenemy Milos regulary summons axiomatic ants, it must be him! But most character's can't or won't summon all 22 creatures on the list. Most good wizards aren't going to use an evil spell to summon evil creatures (whether it's technically possible or not). The opposite may also be true. Personally, I'd be happy with keeping the standard list and allowing players to swap out creatures they would use to add new ones. Glyfair of Glamis [/QUOTE]
