[3.5] When you visit the Astral Plane...

[Chroma]

...the githyanki kill you *quick*!

DMG pg154 Re: Astral Plane

"Enhanced magic: All spells and spell-like abilities used within the Astral Plane may be employed as if they were improved by the Quicken Spell feat...Spells so quickened are still prepared and cast at their unmodified level."

Anyone notice this? Spell battles against the gith are gonna be terrifiying...

 

[EricNoah]

I think this was true before. Pretty nifty though!

 

[Malicene]

It goes the same for everybody into the Astral ...
Beware Arch-Mage and High-Priest too ...!!

 

[the Jester]

Yeah, this is in the MotP already, but it sure makes things interesting on the Astral!

 

[Orias]

The reason for that would be due to the fact that the Astral Plane actually doesn't contain a sense of time. Although you can move & act in it, anything occuring that requires something innately related to "time", it would never occur.

 

[Zappo]

Does that work for sorcerors as well?

 

[Someone]

Why not?

 

[Voadam]

When you visit the astral plane be sure to pack out all the trash you bring in, we want this natural park to remain a beautiful place for all visitors.

This goes double for your lit cigs, remember only you can prevent planar conflagrations.

 

[Zappo]

Why not?

Because technically a spell with metamagic has its casting time increased to a full round for a sorcerer. Now, this says "as if they were improved..." so the extra delay doesn't necessarily apply. Yet, it isn't 100% clear.

 

[Number47]

Of course, you can still only cast one quickened spell a round...
