Sure you can truename a big nasty demon that eviscerates anything you point it at, but that's not what this thread is about.
What other fun uses can you think of for the truename discovery.
I had an idea for finding the truename of a mercane to use as a mobil magic shop.
If I can find the right creature I'd love to have the ultimate personal assistant. I got the idea from another thread that was creating a spell for "hells secretary" or some such thing.
Anyone have any other interesting ideas/uses?

Two words: Succubus Harem.
One word: Wishes.
From a genie? I think if you forced them to grant a wish a day their would be reprocussions.

One hundred and forty words:
You could use a Balor to power your smoker and really lock in that "Abyssaly Smoked Flavor". Mmmmmmmm, imagine the delicious, delicious ribs that'll come out of that bad boy. Plus, since the Balor is inside the smoker, it can constantly baste the ribs, which is awesome, and no heat loss from constantly opening the door to check and baste the ribs. This means that the ribs will be better tasting, more consistent in quality, and will cook faster. All in all, pure profit. And Balors are really smart too, so it'll probably have some good ideas for new flavors and side dishes and whatnot, like maybe summoning quasits that turn into toads to make frog legs that disappear shortly after being eaten so that they're completely non-fat, leaving more space for ribs. I know, right? That would be bodacious.

I actually like that idea. You'd need something with teleport without error, and preferably something that's not inheriently evil for all the reasons you named above. Also a good use for an imp familiar.

How about torturing a fiend by making it do good acts?
LADY: My cat is stuck in a tree! Somebody help!
PC: Off you go...
DEMON: Oh hell no. I'm a Balor! A dread lord of the Abyss! I DO NOT RESCUE CATS FROM TREES!
PC: You do now. Whilst you are about it you can ask her if she wants to come to the coffee morning in aid of underpriveleged children.
DEMON: What coffee morning?
PC: The one I'm going to get you to organise. We can have a raffle and facepainting. It'll be fun!
DEMON: I hate my life...

Would this be considered a good act?

Now, see, were it me doing this.... I'd be doing it because the idea makes me giggle hysterically at the Balor's suffering. So while the Balor may be forced through long exposures of slowly sliding up the scale from evil to good... I myself would be sliding down to evil because it's just too delicious not to enjoy!

Why force them? Bind an efreet instead and make a deal wit it! they hve 3 wishes a day and seem to enjoy political machinations. Not that there isn't risk involved but it is possible to get them fairly cheap from an outsider who can simply call wishes all the time. Yes you pay for them but at leas from a LE creature a deal can probably be struck, weather in payment or in service, that is advantageous to both parties and gives the DM an extra hook when they need it :)

Oh there are so many.... BAD things to do....
Like binding a Vulpinal and having your own foxy... I'm gonna stop right now.
But oh oh oh... good way to stop those mean bullies from taking your kids lunches anymore. Anyway, kids love inderdimensoinal horrors as much as their parents do. Think of your little one's safety, bind a Olethrodaemon to their service today.
I actually had an inquisitor in a recent game force a pit fiend to wish that it was LG for 3 years. Said fiend had been bound for 1000 years prior to game start and it figured the price was fairly small. Still, wow.
I happen to have another one.
"Alright, Zzlgglexthork, I command you... To be my butler until I say other wise..."
"You DO know the butler ALWAYS does it, right?"
"Hmm, good point. In that case, you shall stay chained to my wall where I can make offhanded comments and you in your infinite genre-savvyness, and your state of 'wtf are you doing!?' shall tell me the flaws in my plan."
"... I'll go get your slippers sir".
Seriously. What is more awesome than having an Devil for a butler, or a Deva for a maid?
