#4319, "Walking away from conjured unbound angels"
Edited on Thu 08-Apr-04 07:20 PM

'CONJURE ANGEL' Syntax: cast 'conjure angel' Spiritual warriors of the Light are conjured from the Outer Planes by means of this spell. Torn away from their other-worldly duties, they are eager to return to their home plane, though their stay can be extended with the expenditure of additional mana when conjured. They are moody creatures who will perform better or worse depending on the actions of their conjurer.
--------------------------
This is inspired by all the goodie conjurer's who conjure angels and walk away, just so their angel will auto-attack anyone (PK or otherwise).
Ok, according to this help file, angels are inherently moody creatures, eager to return home.
It seems to me, that if a conjurer conjures an angel, and then just walks away, the angel would not appreciate that conjurers actions. In my opinion, this should lead to them head straight back home (maybe give it a couple ticks after the conjurer leaving the room). If angels are so eager to return home, they shouldn't just sit somewhere unbound, and attack anything in sight. They should simply head straight back to the planes they came from. Maybe give it a random chance of not going straight back, but instead of it attacking evil on sight, it should have it's eyes set on the conjurer that did this to him.
Just my $0.02 since it seems grossly unfair as is.

Angels don't just attack anyone, they attack necromancers and anti-paladins. Also, for a conjurer to do this with full success, they need to conjure the angel without a circle, which is always a dangerous prospect.

They don't.

There's already a failure rate in conjuring. When being done without a circle, there's a fair element of danger that I think balances the rest out.

Not really, when you consider how long it will be before said conjurer can call another angel, the chance of it being aggressive to the conjurer, chance of another conjie coming along and binding/dismissing it, there's a lot of things that can go wrong with it. I don't find it unfair or overpowered or broken in the slightest.
