I'm looking at some creative ways to utilize my summoned monster spells. So last session I summoned a Brachiosaurus (Monster summoning VII), while flying several hundred feet in the air, to land upon a building where some bad guys were hanging out in. Now the DM said it partially demolished the building, but today I intend on dropping it on some foes directly. How much damage should 32 tons of Jurassic goodness falling at terminal velocity, do too my hapless victims? Any references? Hmmm I wonder if I could sweeten the deal with a flesh to stone spell? hmmm.

Just a quick question regarding Monster Summoning. Dose a summoned monster leave a corpse when it's dead? Does it return back to it's home plane upon it's destruction? My DM seems to be of the mind state that summoned monsters don't really die, when they "die". And instead they simply return back to that plane unscathed. Though I don't see any evidence for this, so with that being said I think it would make Monster Summoning spells great Death Knell fuel. A good spell but one that rarely ever gets used because of the precise nature of it's use.

Has anyone ever tried using it by knocking a summoned monster below 0 HP then casting it on them?

Thoughts?

What ever happened to making called shots? Where are the rules for shooting someone in the hand, leg, or eye? In previous Editions there were simple, functional, realistic rules for it that included penalties to hit and side effects.
