Teleport, Monster Summoning, and Reduce Person

[LilithsThrall]

Some creatures summonable by Monster Summoning have the ability to teleport and carry up to 50lbs of objects with them.

If you cast reduce person on yourself, you can probably weigh less than 50lbs. Can such creatures teleport with you?

From D20PFSRD - Summon Monster:

A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities.

No. Well, they can accompany YOU if you initiate your own teleport, but no, THEY cannot initiate teleport themselves, at all.

Thanks, what about planar binding? Can a creature summoned by planar binding who has the ability to teleport more than it's own weight teleport you with it?

That should be fine, I'm unaware of any restrictions placed upon a 'called' creature's abilities (unless imposed by the 'binder' as part of the called creature's tenure under the spell).

The called creature could use its own summon ability, as well.

Even if you weight less than 50 pounds, you are a creature, not an object. A monster that can teleport "self plus 50 lbs of objects only" cannot teleport other creatures.
