- new good aligned creatures: celestial treant, asura and hound archon.
- magic circle and protection vs alignment now protect against law, chaos, good or evil.
- magic circle vs alignment can now be used to create 9 different calling diagrams (not functional).
- Gate can now be used to create a interplanar portal: Upper, Outer, Lower Planes (not functional).

Re: NEXT UPDATE: Planar Binding Additions
This sounds neat. If the diagrams can be used to RP a summoning, that gets a thumbs up from me.
I'd rather not have a diagram and needing to negotiate for mins every time a being is summoned. It'd need to be a two-step thing, like with the gems where you've already had the negotiations and can summon the creature instantly in a fight/whatever.
That said, I don't want all summons to be an 'item in your inventory'-thing. Inventory space is at premium already, especially for mages and clerics I feel who carry a lot of wands and scroll. Scrollcases are but a nice dream

Re: NEXT UPDATE: Planar Binding Additions
Na, it would be a one-time negotiating for each summon and without using a gem. It would also remove the summon restriction and use a skill/bribe dialogue system instead. People could also break the diagram by stepping into the circle (causing havoc).
However at the moment I do not feel on continuing this - the polymorph project drained me alot. I guess people can already RP "all this" with the new diagrams... so =).

Re: NEXT UPDATE: Planar Binding Additions
Understandable.
I love the idea of just having diagrams for RP purposes. The ones DMs can create tend to fall through the floor and be quite small for purpose... so this is still very nice.

Re: NEXT UPDATE: Planar Binding Additions
Is it sad when I can read the mirrored Hebrew text on the top one of those?
(Isaiah 6:3 - וקרא זה אל־זה ואמר קדושׁ קדושׁ קדושׁ יהוה צבאות מלא כל־הארץ כבודו׃)
Anyway, will these be compulsory casting? Simply because I'm one of those cleric players that will not cast spells with prohibited descriptors (eg. good clerics cannot cast Protection/Magic Circle from Good, as it has the evil descriptor, and vice versa for evil clerics).
