[QUOTE="Venator, post: 3116353, member: 44617"] Several spells have casting times of "1 round" and others have the casting time of "full round action." Are they the same or different? At first i thought they were indeed different, then i changed my mind, and now ive changed it back again. Reason for my confusion: In Chapter 8: Combat under the heading Full-Round Actions (pg. 143) it says, Then, is says under Casting a Metamagic Spell, So it first says that a spell with a 1-round casting time is a full round action and that it comes into effect at the start of your next turn, and then it says that full round actions take effect in the same round that you cast it... I'm fairly sure that I know what they mean, but im looking for some help. A 1-round casting time is a full round action to cast, meaning that you cant do anything else that round, and its effects take place a turn later. This effectively takes "longer" to produce its effects, but no longer to actually cast. A casting time of full round action also takes the entire turn, but its effects are produced then and there. Is this correct? [/QUOTE]
