Summon limit in ad&d 2e

[Vlan]

Hello there,

does someone know if there was a limit on how many monsters you could summon (Monster Summoning spells) in ad&d 2e?

Was five (as applied to Baldurs Gate) normal monsters, and one celestial the actual rule, or were these numbers only used because of gameplay reasons?

Probably due to engine restrictions rather than actual rules... cause in BG1, there was no such restriction. Ouh, but it's made with the lesser version of the same engine you say... yes, but in BG2, there's far more effects in everything, so we are still looking at engine limitations, realistically.
