Yeah, we are still talking about classic icewind dale :) and I havent installed mod which changes summons there. Yeah, it does, but still I hope that we might find something cool inside.

Then it's probably programmed in the .exe to bound to the creatures gender, just like it's in BG2.

Ok, monsters summoned by spell are named like MS(1-7), all have gender 6-Summoned, well, this reminds me that changing it to 4 - Niether might work? Will this change apply to current save when game restarts?

There's a mod for this... that sets it to 20, a not previously existing value, and it then edits the death spell that instantly kills the summoned creatures to also apply it to gender 20.

Save game compatibility... don't know, but you can find out by making the change, and then casting the spell, forcejoin them into the party via the console cheat Ctrl+Q, and then checking the creatures file info in the save. EDIT: Or just cast the spell multiple times and find out.

Well, there is max number for gender = 6. No gender 20 is available. Tested to change it to 4 - Niether, didnt worked. Where is the mod you mentioned, will it work for classic IWD?

Don't know.

The original BG1 didn't have a limit like this, it was only introduced by BG2, with more summons and all that... so you need to test if there's even one in IWD1. Suspision is: No. In IWDEE, there's one, but it's because the same BG2EE engine is used.

yes it is summoning cap for classic IWD
