The being must be known to you: a god, a demon prince, or some other being of cosmic power. That entity sends a Celestial, an Elemental, or a Fiend loyal to it to aid you, making the creature appear in an unoccupied space within range. If you know a specific creature\u2019s name, you can speak that name when you cast this spell to request that creature, though you might get a different creature anyway (GM\u2019s choice).[\/p]\r\n[p]When the creature appears, it is under no compulsion to behave in any particular way. You can ask the creature to perform a service in exchange for payment, but it isn\u2019t obliged to do so. The requested task could range from simple (\u201cfly us across the chasm,\u201d or \u201chelp us fight a battle\u201d) to complex (\u201cspy on our enemies,\u201d or \u201cprotect us during our foray into the dungeon\u201d). You must be able to communicate with the creature to bargain for its services.[\/p]\r\n[p]Payment can take a variety of forms. A Celestial might require a sizable donation of gold or magic items to an allied temple, while a Fiend might demand a living sacrifice or a gift of treasure. Some creatures might exchange their service for a quest undertaken by you.[\/p]\r\n[p]As a rule of thumb, a task that can be measured in minutes requires a payment worth 100 gp per minute. A task measured in hours requires 1,000 gp per hour. And a task measured in days (up to 10 days) requires 10,000 gp per day. The GM can adjust these payments based on the circumstances under which you cast the spell. If the task is aligned with the creature\u2019s ethos, the payment might be halved or even waived. Nonhazardous tasks typically require only half the suggested payment, while especially dangerous tasks might require a greater gift.[\/p]\r\n[p]Creatures rarely accept tasks that would cause them harm.[\/p]\r\n[p]After the creature completes the task or when the agreed\u2011upon duration of service expires, the creature returns to its home plane after reporting back to you (if appropriate to the task and if possible). If you are unable to agree on a price for the creature\u2019s service, the creature immediately returns to its home plane.[\/p]\r\n[p]You can\u2019t have more than one ally at any one time.[\/p]\r\n[p]Once you cast this spell, you can\u2019t beseech the same entity with another casting of this spell until 7 days have passed.[\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n","source":"Tales of the Valiant Players Guide (pg. 344)","tags":"","templateId":"13924","blockId":"1610885","world":"bfe6a878-780d-47e8-ac3f-6b24586dd471","folder":"04b85fef-8464-446b-82b5-29d397c4e93d","isShared":"on"}
