[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5233350, member: 90920"] The stacking rules aren't too specific to this, though. Would casting Summon Monster I apply to stacking rules, too? If I used that spell to summon a Celestial Dog, could I not use that spell to summon another monster until the first spell ended? And then, if someone else casted Summon Monster I to summon a creature, would that not also apply to stacking rules? Bear's Strength certainly can't stack that way. Would that mean to cast the spell, they must wait until someone else's summoned monster is gone? That would also greatly muddle Animate Dead to the point that stacking simply COULDN'T apply. Who or what is the target of Summon Monster I and Animate Dead for which stacking is forbidden? If two characters with the same spell can cast the spell and their abilities logically stack, then one character casting as two classes shouldn't be treated differently. Maybe I'm being too zealous, here. Maybe my desire to see Mystic Theurge good for something is clouding my judgment.
