A Hound that's already been summoned would still pursue its target, but if you've got multiple opponents some of them are going to get away.Also, note that your Hound can't keep up with a dashing target if their speed is 30 feet or more. Yes, it has a speed of 50 feet, but it specifically can only use its action to attack its target, so it cannot take the Dash action.Second, at 3 Sorcery points a pop, those Hounds aren't cheap. I assume you're banking SPs in advance to pull this off, otherwise you'd need to spend your bonus action every couple of rounds re-stocking them by burning spell slots.Third, the wording of Hound of Ill Omen is a little ambiguous. It doesn't outright say you can't have multiple hounds, but it all seems to be written with the assumption of there being one hound.</blockquote>
