party friendly? Options

[rbeverjr]

Unless this is a bug, the text is misleading. Storm of Vengeance is supposed to be party friendly, and indeed does not seem to harm the party (protagonist and NPCs). However, I think it can turn HLA summons hostile, but don't think that it should (party friendly). Does Storm of Vengeance cause anyone else's planetar/elemental to go hostile?

Also, summon monster 3 (provides 1-hit distractions for Sikret's monsters ) will sometimes get winter wolves. The cold breath of these wolves will also make HLA summons hostile against the party. At most, it would seem more reasonable to me that the highly intelligent planetar would just kill the wolf if he thought the party caster had a lapse of reason rather than attacking all the party! (Hmmm, shall this LG angel kill a wolf or a Death Lord?) I wonder if something can be done about this type of scenario?

Well, that's disconcerting. I made matters simpler by going to a saved game and summoning up the planetar and greater elementals. I then subjected them to storm of vengeance. They did not turn hostile.

The subject of my question came from the final battle with Irenicus. I cast no area of effect spells, except remove magic and storm of vengeance (too busy with ruby rays . I did not attack my summons, of course. Nevertheless, the summons were turned against me. The first time I noticed this was when the summons were fighting against some of Irenicus' companions while the rest of us were dealing with other baddies. I assumed that something had went wrong with the storm of vengeance spell in that area. These summons can't be dominated can they? The other instance where something like this happened was with winter wolves and a planetar attacking one of Irenicus' companions. I observed the planetar turn hostile and only assumed that he must have got hit by a winter wolf. If that's not the case and if they can't be dominated, then something strange is going on..... It's terrible when an angel betrays you.
