[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1131920, member: 224"] It looks pretty clear. With [i]Gate[/i] you may either:[list][*]call "a kind of creature" or [*] "a known individual". This includes any individual, from "Bob Smith, whose fields are southeast of Edgerton's water well", to Asmodeus. Unique does not imply powerful. (The thought that it does mean that is a hold-over from previous editions.)[/list] If you chose to do the former, you may command it...blah, blah, blah. (As this creature is then an extension of your power, you don't get XP for defeating it, anymore than anyone that attacks you would get XP for it.) If you chose to do the latter, it is neither under your control nor compelled to come through the gate. And as for the "infinite wishes from summoned genies" problem: Fixed. Summoned creatures can't use powers that cost XP. ************** Frank, I think you'll find that in each of your so-called "infinite-power loops", there can be found flaws in your arguments. I hope I do not surprise you, but [i]others[/i] have thought of these as well. [/QUOTE]
