Dawnguard's view on Conjuration?

[kradus]

I'm aware that the Dawnguard was restarted by former Vigilants. But where does the order itself draws the line on conjuration? Do any of them use any kind of summons?

You can. Really, the only thing that you can't be is a vampire. As I said in another thread, you can walk in wearing full Daedric and dual-wielding the Mace of Molag Bal and the Mehrunes Razor. So long as you are not a vampire, they really don't care.

Isran doesn't even care/notice if you are Vampire until a fair bit into the first half of the story (recruiting help).

Game wise, they dont care unless you are a vampire. Lore wise, I imagine they would hold the same views as the Vigilants, with more of an emphasis on vampires.

I always felt that actually conjuring things - atronachs or weapons - would be perfectly fine, but necromancy would be severely frowned upon. After all, vampire NPCs use necromancy in battle whenever they can, so the Dawnguard would use the flip side of the same coin, as it were, in response. That and the fancy new Restoration spells the Dawnguard DLC comes with.

Yeah, I tend to be of the persuasion that necromancy proper is separate from Conjuration not something you can actually do in-game. All the nonsense with bones and corpse assembly and such, like Calixto does. Actually, it might involve Restoration as much as Conjuration, given that Restoration places a lot of emphasis on "mastery over life forces"...
