Its mostly a matter of having this really cool spell (planar binding) and my wanting to actually use it. I feel the same way about similar spells: magic jar, geas, bestow curse. They're very cool spells with lots of flavor and potential, but hard to really us as a player character. They're also, by the way, on my spell list. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> So I have these spells, and want to use them. It seems to me that, with planar binding, I ought to summon up some creates and bind them. And then get them to do something for me.But which creatures? And do what? Well... I could bind a ghaele eladrin to protect me or something like that. Or I could bind a dwarven ancestor spirit to protect my dwarf friend's bedchambers. Or I could bind a demon to go seek out the location of a dragon's lair for me. Or I could bind a genie and force it to grant me wishes. These all seem to be in keeping with the spirit of the game. I am aware that there are (or can be) risks, and I'm fine with that. It makes it more fun, actually.Oh, and using summoned monsters to spring traps and sleeping in a rope trick? Yeah, we do that all the time. Again, it seems like the thing to do. Our characters have these spells, so they want to use them.I guess that's the type of game we're playing. *shrug* We like it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Ozmar the Necromancer</blockquote>
