Rewards for Planar Binding

[Tr011]

What rewards would you grant creatures that you bind if you play a wizard? It shouldn't cost you much, but be worth a lot to the creatures you summon.

[Endarire]

That depends on what these creatures want.  Favors go a long way toward impressing people.  Item-wise, money and magic stuff are pretty consistently valuable.

Well getting to live for another day is always good.

Won't work for everything since it doesn't really make him loyal.

That reminds me of Bartimaeus who would have gotten trapped into a small item (in the ocean IIRC) if his "summoner" would have died. Any idea to make effects like these? (Bestow Curse besides)

You can't ever make them loyal, they'll only ever be compliant as far as the agreement goes. You're enslaving them. Getting +5 from an admiral's bicorne goes just as far for loyalty as getting +5 from a reward does, by which I mean either will help you win the roll, and neither will help you once the spell wears off, except by dm fiat.

[Tr011]

From a point of roleplay you just have to make your interest their best interest. In example if they are doomed if you die due to some spell they will have to keep you alive. Is there some way to bind their survival to your life?

Binding on a Reserves of Strength - Contingency?

Contingent Spell (Magic "Item") Trap the Soul?

Mix and match stuff like the above.
