The article says that monsters are created that are the same alignment as the caster or neutral, so I thought that I could polyself into a black dragon and disintegrate Medusa's pet titan(lawful) without fear of Lichs or MMFs(chaotic) being summoned.  and then the MMF ate my brain a bunch of times before I could disintegrate him, too.  :-(  So, what does it mean that the summoned monsters are the same alignment or neutral?  Thanks [[User:Derekt75|Derekt75]] 09:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

The article says that monsters are created that are the same alignment as the caster or neutral, so I thought that I could polyself into a black dragon and disintegrate Medusa's pet titan(lawful) without fear of Lichs or MMFs(chaotic) being summoned. and then the MMF ate my brain a bunch of times before I could disintegrate him, too. :-( So, what does it mean that the summoned monsters are the same alignment or neutral?
