![]() ![]() The ability to act more than you are supposed to, à la Quicken, is one of the most powerful abilities in the game – but it falls well short of being able to act when you shouldn’t be able to act at all – which is what you propose. It would open a wealth of exceedingly powerful options to the already-most-powerful classes. what's the ability to make a swift-action spell immediate worth, in terms of spell-level adjustment? If I, as a GM, were to attempt to find a balanced way to allow players to metamagic their spells into immediate actions, what level of metamagic would that be? My thought so far is to create a new metamagic feat that allows you to turn a swift action casting time into an immediate action casting time - thus, it stacks with quicken (so I don't have to deal with rules about applying the same metamagic twice), and forces casters to commit two feats if they want to double-quicken their spells into immediate actions.īut if I do it this way, there's nothing that a priori says this new metamagic feat would have to also be a +4 spell level feat. Thus I only recently realized that RAW, quicken only does the second to last of those things (standard or 1 round to swift) A GM I played with used to rule that a quickened spell always reduced the casting time of a spell by 1 round, and reduced a 1 round casting time or a standard action casting time to a swift action, and a swift action to a free (or immediate, he was somewhat inconsistent) action. ![]()
