Consider a group of adventurers that do not have access to Raise Dead, and one of their party members dies. This party does, however, have access to Lesser Planar Ally (Cleric 4). LPA allows you to call a 6 HD or less outsider or elemental, for 100 xp. You must also offer this being an offering for its service, equalling at least 100 gp per HD of the creature (for a service lasting no longer than 1 minute per caster level), but that cost is halved if the task is not hazardous.
Lesser Planar Ally can thus call a Movanic Deva from the Fiend Folio. A movanic deva is a 6 HD outsider that has a host of spell-like abilities, including Raise Dead once per week (or maybe it was per day, I forget).
Q 461: If a party calls a Movanic Deva to Raise their fallen friend, what costs are incurred by the party? Only 100 xp and 300 gp? More?
PS - I realize that the deity actually chooses what creature to send, not the caster, but ignore that point for this question, please.
