Stan,
  These are the end results of a ten year debate on summoned creatures.  
Some have weapons, some don't.  None list armor, but some of the creatures 
summoned, are listed in ITL as stopping damage.  These contradictions lead 
to huge debates about 'where' the summoned being come from.
   As the debate began to wind down statements like the following were 
made.  ''It should be just as easy to summon a gargoyle with a polearm, as a 
myrmidon with a sword.''  ''So why don't summoned creatures have armor?  
That isn't acting like the "normal" version of that creature.''
   It occured to me that to get a truck load of gold and a wish from the 
wizards' guild only required a new spell.  Not that that spell had to be 
completely different from all existing spells.  So I made variations on the 
existing summoning spells.
   The island they come from, is from the campaign the spells were 
introduced in.  It is a small volcanic crator in pacific waters.  With a 
tunnel through the rim so a ship can pass inside the crator into totally 
protected waters.  Many of the mercinary wizards of the docks use these 
versions of summoning in their guard duties.
