Whilst it was approved for the game it was proposed in, I am somewhat surprised by the lack of a warlock planar binding invocation, and I find it somewhat silly given the general warlock fluff that they get animate dead instead of a planar binding varient, but anyway, a warlock invocation for the playground, feel free to point out how exploitable or not it is.
Planar Pact
Spell Level 5
Finishing invocations of dark power, the warlock summons into a small binding circle a planar entity for bargaining.
This invocation functions as the Magic Circle Against [Alignment] Spells and the Lesser Planar Binding spell. With this invocation, warlocks can create a Magic Circle against any alignment that they oppose on the alignment chart [Chaotic Warlocks against law, Evil Warlocs against good, etc], and once per day warlocks with this invocation can cast Lesser Planar binding.
When you gain Access to Greater invocations this invocation functions as Planar binding 1/Day, or Lesser Planar Binding 3/Day in addition to the Magic Circle against Alignment spells.
When you gain Access to Dark Invocations this invocation functions as Greater Planar Binding 1/day, or Planar Binding 3/Day, or Lesser Planar binding 5/day in addition to the Magic Circle against Alignment spells.
I've got a feeling that people will say reduce the uses of lesser planar binding at the Dark grade, however I don't think spamming imps should be to much of a problem, even if by level 16 a warlock should be just telling 6HD outsiders what to do and they just do it.
