[QUOTE="jefgorbach, post: 5234724, member: 28278"] Animate Dead is limited to the corpses at hand so stacking is irrelevant. A. Caster1 animates corpses as a (10+7)th level caster B. Caster1 animates some as a 10th Arcane and more as a 7th level Divine. C. Caster1 animates some as a 10th Arcane and Caster2 as a 7th Divine. Regardless, a total of 68hd can be animated ... PROVIDED the graveyard / battle site has sufficient corpses. If it only has 20hd of corpses avialable, thats the most that can be animated. Its akin to entering a room and finding two apples sitting on a table. It really doesnt matter whether you take one in each hand or you and a friend each take one because all the apples are taken. The fact you have a bag capable of holding a full dozen apples is irrelevant. Summon Monster spells on the other hand are NOT dependent upon the creatures at hand, however stacking still doesn't apply because although you're limited to a single creature per casting of the current list, you can summon multiple creatures off lower-level lists implying an infinite number of such creatures from which to draw from.
