The bestiary 2 added two options for Summon Monster spell.
Entropic Simple Template
Resolute Simple Template
Entropic Creature (CR +0 or +1) Creatures with the entropic template live in planes where chaos is paramount. They can be summoned using spells such as summon monster and planar ally. An entropic creature’s CR increases by +1 only if the base creature has 5 or more HD. An entropic creature’s quick and rebuild rules are the same.
But what happens when a Chaotic Good caster summons a creature? Does it get the Celestial and Entropic templates? Or Only one of them?
The footnote on the SRD says "or", but that text is not written on any book or errata i could find, and is not valid from a raw perspective.
And i couldn't find anywhere in the books where it says something like "a chaotic caster can apply the entropic template to the creature". Saying that you must have the correct aligment for chaotic and lawful templates.
The rules are silent as far as I know, but due to how versatile SM is, I am thinking an official ruling would say you get to choose one.
That seems fair, but the creature is still aligned to both axis as per summon monster's spell description.
