My CG Mage used Summon Monster IV to get a Lantern Archon.

To my great surprise it turns out that the glowing ball of rightousness is of chaotic evil alignment, complete with aura of despair.

Bug or Feature?

I believe they're evil so the save reduce aura works.
"From the realms below we ride,
And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Bug. We know about it, I reported it before and am currently helping fix things like that right now. Fear not, archon 2.0 will be all lawful and goodlike. :)

And Tomekk, the save reduce aura isn't a power of Lantern Archons anyways, further it does not work. I think someone made the Lantern Archon Chaotic Evil HOPING it might make the aura of despair work though. When it didn't work, it wasn't like the lanterns were remade or fixed.

Likewise, the archons only have one use of thier "searing light" attack, ever. It's a single use power rather than an unlimited beam attack. Spell resistance also shuts it down too, but not much that can be done about that either. Still, trying to sort out the Archon.

I dunno. A Chaotic Evil Archon makes sense.

I see it kind of like Postal Worker's syndrome. Having to sit around all day...every day...surrounded by people who are complete sticks in the mud, who have no fun, no wild parties, no keggers, no strip joints, no casinos....

I dunno about you, but if I was an Archon I would have snapped at some point.

Exactly. Screw Trumpet Archons.

Why not "Electric Guitar" Archons? Or "Bass Guitar" Archons?

In fact, I know the perfect challenge rating for the Bass Guitar Archon!

Challenge rating: 1.5

(Now let's see who gets the joke. ;) ::troll::
