Description

You seek assistance from a mighty extraplanar being — a god, archdevil, or other legendary and powerful creature. It sends one of its loyal servants to aid you, which appears in an unoccupied space within range.

When the creature appears, it is friendly but under no obligation to help you. It speaks at least one language you speak. It typically demands payment for its aid, in a form appropriate to the creature (for example, tithes for a celestial or sacrifices for a fiend). When payment has monetary value, it usually is 50 gp per minute, 500 gp per hour, or 5,000 gp per day. It may be decreased or increased as much as 50% depending on whether the extraplanar being endorses the task, or on the danger of the task. The cost usually increases when repeatedly summoning the same extraplanar being and may be free the first time if the being favors you.

Services can be anything appropriate to the creature summoned. Creatures will rarely agree to tasks that are suicidal, impossible, abhorrent, or especially lengthy. After the creature completes the task, or you are unable to satisfy its payment, it returns to its home plane.
