Necromancer/BG combined summons

Post by condotierri » Tue Oct 25, 2016 1:46 am

I have greater necromancy focus which allows me to have two undead summons as long as they do not come from the same spell.

I have a sorc/bg and I can cast Animate Dead as a sorcerer and then cast Create Undead as a blackguard ability, however everytime I do this (in either order) the first summon will "*wander off*" and I am stuck with just having the one summon.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to guess this is because BG does not follow the regular undead summons or areliths changes, so it doesn't count for a 2nd summon. You'll need to cast a different undead spell as a sorcerer to have 2.

On the Wiki it does state that the BG Create Undead ability should count as one of the "spells" able to summon one of your 1/2/3 undead.
I figure it is a bug seeing as it's supposed to work.

I actually wrote that part in the wiki blindly, thinking it would count as a separated spell (since blackguard spells are more like feats, and they normally stack with normal spells).
Iiiiiiit's probably a bug, though.
