====HOUSE: Use of a True Name====
''(from Book of Exalted Deeds)''
:: Once a character has discovered a creature true name, she can exercise her power over that creature in a number of different ways.
:::*  Impose a -4 penalty on the creature's saving throws to resist a specific compulsion spell or effect.
:::*  Reduce the creatures spell resistance by 4 or reduce the amount of its damage reduction by 5. This reduction lasts for 1 minute.
:::*  Gain a +6 bonus on opposed Charisma check to compel service from the creature after summoning it with a planar binding spell.
:::*  Gain a +6 bonus to your Armor Class vs. the creature.
:: Each of these actions requires a full-round action, which includes speaking the creature's true name and a binding incantation in the Words of Creation.  Uttering the incantation deals 5d4 points of nonlethal damage to the speaker.  the character and the creature do not have to be in the same area.
::  '''NOTE''':  Some creatures are more restrained by channellers and legates having their True Name. For Example: Courtesan Imps are known to be able to be bound to Channellers that find and bond them with the Imp's True Name.
