[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 128264, member: 284"] No, that [i]is[/i] exactly the case. [i]Haste[/i] gives you one extra partial action in a round. [i]Time stop[/i] gives you 1d4+1 extra actions within the round. They will stack: you get 1d4+1 extra actions + 1 extra partial action. That is strictly by the rules. Having [i]haste[/i] grant an extra partial action for each of the apparent [i]time stop[/i] rounds would be multiplying them, not stacking them. [b][/b] I agree with this. [b][/b] Yes, but it only makes a you a little bit quicker than the [i]time stop[/i]. Just fast enough to squeeze out one extra partial action, and no faster. [b][/b] Not a valid solution in LC. Most characters can't cast spells, and most spellcasters in LC can't create new spells. They can only use PHB spells and spells out of the builder book. [b][/b] Sorry, doesn't work that way. And even if it did, it's a rather poor solution from a game balance stand point. What if you aren't a 17th level wizard or 18th level sorcerer? What if you are a group of 14th-16th level characters facing an 18th level wizard? Should only arcane casters who have researched this currently non-existant spell contingency spell of yours be allowed to participate in combat at high levels? [b][/B] It wasn't just "excessively used", it was abused and abused repeatedly. By your interpretation timestop is a broken spell, because it's a spell that you [b]have[/b] to plan for. The entire game should not revolve around the PC's ability to either use or counteract one specific spell. It's Dungeons and Dragons, not "Time Stops and Counterspells." [/QUOTE]
