i dont want to use fiendish summoning specialist except as an absolute last resort because it requires dm negotiation.Originally Posted by tainted sorcerer
anyways summon monster ii summons a lemure. devil. done. i summoned a devil to gain instruction.
now the problem here is that lemures are explicitly unable to communicate. its in their stat block (mindless) and fluff description.
so....Originally Posted by lemure
i mean "to gain instruction" can be interpreted as you studying a creature right? if you study a creature, you can get the know how to do something right?
also if im being pedantic, i just need to summon a devil in an attempt to gain instruction, i dont actually have to gain instruction from the devil do i? the sentence structure, the action i need to perform is summon a devil, and "to gain instruction" is just my reason for something, has absolutely nothing to do with what i need to do right?
or a third interpretation, simply summoning the devil results in gaining instruction.
or is this all just me being unreasonable, and i need to grab fiendish summoning specialist and add a mane to sm ii's list?
has to be smi or smii because smiii is too late for what im trying to do.
