Need to think through the whole pumping summoned creatures thing.

I re-thought allowing demon pumping. No. A summoned creature is a temporary magic item and a bound creature is a permanent magic item. Mia Culpa. Her bound demon 3 is pumped with one die to demon 6 - that makes her Summoner 8 (Summoner 9 if she uses a Lucky Shot) for physical combat by burning one die. That's too powerful this early in the game.

We never decided on the use of familiars,

They are covered by the Sidekicks and Shield Mates rules. There are special benefits, like mind meld or remote view.

If a summoner can summon and bind - can she also invoke and banish?

Yes. Invoke is handled as Augury. Banish is Ward at a high difficulty level.

Or whether normal people or animals can be bound, summoned, or invoked or banished.

Yes. Again at a high difficulty level. These are hexes or enchantments.

And whether angels can be summoned, bound, or invoked or banished.

Angels are off limits. They have a friend in high places.


Can a demon or spirit be bound to a tattoo? (I assume to give the PC supernormal powers)


Yes. It is treated as a talisman or amulet.
