| Description | When cast, this ritual calls a creature from another plane to your precise location. You can ask this creature to answer questions or gather information regarding a specific topic (a person, a place, or a thing). Depending on the questions, the creature may require more gifts than what was provided whether the ritual's material components. After hearing your request, if the creature has an appropriate Knowledge skill it can attempt a check to provide the information it has. If it lacks such a skill, the called creature leaves for 1d4 hours to gather this information. Upon its return, you roll 1d20 plus your caster level and use the result to determine what information the creature has gathered about the subject (as if using Diplomacy). The called creature stays for up to 10 minutes as it relays this information to you, after which it departs to its home plane. If the creature is attacked or damaged at any time during the ritual's duration, the ritual ends and the creature returns to the plane from which you summoned it. When you cast this ritual, you can choose a specific kind of outsider to call, even calling an individual creature by name. The kind of outsider called doesn’t alter the effects of the ritual, but when you use planar inquiry to summon a creature with an alignment or elemental subtype, it is a ritual of that type. |
