[QUOTE="Ozmar, post: 3324525, member: 8021"] Just thought I'd run this past ya'll: My Dread Necromancer just became level 12, giving him access to [I]Planar Binding[/I]. I was doing a little research, and I noticed that Efreeti can cast three wishes a day for nongenies (such as, say, my Dread Necromancer). Now, I have a stronghold, and have built a permanent binding circle, and I have a clerical cohort to cast [I]magic circles [/I] and [I]dimensional anchors[/I]. So, at no further cost to myself, I shall cast [I]planar binding[/I] and conjure up a 10-HD efreeti. Sooner or later, one will fail its Will save (and actually, it has to roll a 12 to succeed) and be bound. Efreeti don't have SR, and with his +2 Cha, he can't beat the DC to escape my trap (at least DC 26, I think more due to the permanent circle). So he's bound. Now normally I can bargain with him (costs gold) or force him to listen to me (an opposed Cha check with a chance that he'll break free), but I am thinking I'll just avoid the hassle and cast [I]geas [/I] on him.
