I've been using the Ranger specialization for a while now, and I always assumed it was possible to summon only one beast at a time per character with that spec.   

But last game I accidentally clicked on "summon bear" at the same time a wolf was being summoned.  I ended up with both beasts at once.  So I experimented a little with it, and it seems that I can actually summon all three beasts (wolf, bear and spider) at once -- for each character with the Ranger spec.  When I have Warden, Zevran,  and Leliana with Ranger specs that means 9 summoned beasts!

It almost seems like too much of an advantage.   True, it uses up 50 stamina per beast, so with three summoned beasts it uses up 150 stamina -- a big chunk of stamina for each character.

Is this the way Ranger is intended to work, or did I stumble upon a glitch?

It's a glitch, I believe, but an amusing one.

I think it's a glitch; I can't get two summons out by different characters at one time. My animated dead always went poof when I tried to get whoever was a ranger to summon a wolf and that wolf always got overridden when I decided that I wanted a bear instead.

Yeah, definitely a glitch.

Having played around with it a bit more, it seems like it is not something I would use. The game engine cannot really handle all those animals, and weird things start to happen. Very bad lag with more than 4 regular characters plus 3 summoned beasts. Also can be difficult to dispel the beasts afterward without totally exiting the place the beasts were summoned. Once one of Zevran's summoned beasts replaced Zevran as a part of the team. Had to restart the game to get rid of it.

Think I will pass on summoning the extra beasts in the future.
