Summons Q's (limit, etc...) - Page 2

this is something I once tried

I casted a lot of Gates, and at the same time, imprisoned them all as soon as they came out. I had like 6 imprisoned big demons. I do it before I fight bosses, if I can, then as soon as the combat start, I cast Freedom, BAM, mass demonic summoning!

it is not really useful considering the condition u must fullfill, but it is really fan.

First of all, gated creatures are not counted as summons, they ARE gated, not summoned...

Fighting Kangaxx the Demi-Lich, I had nearly 6 Mordy's swords summons imprisoned. Still, I can summon 5 creatures, so I think Imprisonment does remove the creature out of your summon list.

Hmmmm... that was not the case with poor teddy, but I have not tested with MSwords before. Will try it out the next time.

I have had Jaheira( because she is the easiest to gain multiple summoning spells) summon 1-2 Mountain Bears in one area, go to another area and rest. Wake up and cast 5 more summons, then go back to the original area to witness the previous summons get unsummoned.

Strange. I remember them counting to my limit on a few occasions... maybe the patches fix it; this was a long time before I knew about any of them [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do not remember, whether I have installed the SoA FixPack by the time of the fight, or not. But I didn't get any patches. And, finally, I get version 2.smoething displayed on the top when I start the game. It may be already patched by the pirate (you all din't hear that!) whom I bought the game from..

And, after all, you get XP for imprisoned enemies. Would not that mean that they are killed? So Kangaxx got the XP for my swords, and they were counted as killed, till a Freedom spell frees them (I have to check it after I return from Underdark. I will cast a freedom in that very room...)

Dundee, MS-Words, is it a microsoft product?

TaSSaDaR · 09-20-2002, 08:39 AM

NO WAY!! They ARE useful, you see..

I imagine what if they were Microsoft's... Turning on you, trying to sell some stuff to your opponents, occasionly casting Slow on themselves... they would be a useless summon, just as Microsoft's OS is... (pss, I aint no telling you what I mean

)

There seem to be two distinct sides to the "I summon 5 beasts, go somewhere else and Rest, can I summon any more?" debate.

I, too, am unable to summon 5 beasties if I have Summoned critters elsewhere, even if their durations should have expired by that time. I have to go back to where they are, they will be Unsummoned, and I'm back to being able to cast 5 again.

I am right about this, and Dundee, who disagrees on this point, is also right--It's just a simple question of which version/patch you have.

Well, I use the standard patch+fixpack, but I am sure so do you. Not sure how to demostrate to you though, since screenshots will not be able to show this, and I have no program to record my games into a video.
