I like the idea of a Customized summoning list, but I need help putting one together for one of my PC's He is playing a Favored Soul of Keoghtom
"In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Keoghtom is the god of Secret Pursuits, Natural Alchemy, and Extraplanar Exploration.
A jack of all trades, Keoghtom has mastered hunting, alchemy, and the Old Lore of the bards. He has traveled throughout the Flanaess and now walks the boundaries and trails of the Outer Planes.
Keoghtom is believed to have been born sometime around the 2nd century BCY in the Sheldomar Valley, some 300 years following the Great Migrations. As a mortal, Keoghtom dabbled in the Old Faith, the Faerie Mysteries, and the secrets of the Silent Ones, yet never became fully indoctrinated by any of them. His travels eventually brought him into the service (and friendship) of Fharlanghn, and into an adventuring band led by Zagig Yragerne. After Zagig attained godhood, Keoghtom retreated to the Celadon Forest, and then from Oerth entirely."
The Player and I would like to play up the planer part of that, but wanted to stay away from Celestial and Fiendish stuff, he's Neutral and feel that the stuff he summons should feel more neutral then Celestial and Fiendish stuff would.
Thanks ahead of time guys (and gals)
Have him use summon natures ally? I imagine a list with alot of mount capable critters, one or 2 message carriers, and one or 2 that can get him out of a tough spot(up/down a cliff, across a pool of lava, that sort of thing). Not all summonned critters need to be meat shields :)

An easy "fix" would be to apply the axiomatic or anarchic templates (Planar Handbook) instead of the celestial or fiendish. Another option could be the element creatures (fire, air, etc.). These can be found in Manual of the Planes and in an article in Dragon 347 if you have it. The half-fey template might work for your purposes (Fiend Folio).
That's about all I have that would be "easy". Hope that helps.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, it will help a lot, (only so many hours in a day so getting help on stuff is great)
