The design team went 'round and 'round on this. There are both "Command" and
"Summon" feats in Heroquest (and usually not for the same entity in the same
affinity). You can treat this an un-corrected artifact of design revisions
and consider them to be the same ability for most purposes, or add "Command"
or "Summon" abilities to those beings that don't have them and treat them as
two seperate abilities.
