If you use this, you may want to be strict with yourself about what you allow your skelies to do for you--summoned creatures can't normally scout for you, or open doors after all.
That makes perfect sense. As long as the player adheres to the rules about what Summons can and cannot do (such as help lug your Inventory around), I don't see a single reason why this should not be considered a legitimate tactic for avoiding Soloing problems, except for the Selfish Test.

Other people's opinions?
