[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 482432, member: 1331"] It's possible to get 3 or more [u]apparent[/u] actions per round, mainly by use of Quickened spells and spell-like abilities. Dragons also have special attack types that don't take a whole action on their own; a Tail Slap can strike once per round, Snatch can be used whenever a claw or bite hits, etc. What with all that, plus the normal melee attack routine, a dragon can sometimes do as much in a round as an entire adventuring party. On the other hand, if your DM did give the dragon two extra partial actions per round, he's a cheatin' bastich and you should smite him. ;)(Actually he was probably just mistaken about the rule. [i]Haste[/i]-type effects never grant more than one extra partial action, even when there are multiple effects running.) As for the rapid buffing, that's easily within the rules. A [i]Time Stop[/i] or two would have given him plenty of time to buff up. [/QUOTE]
