[QUOTE="VanRichten, post: 4192170, member: 63745"] So lets see. Blade of Blood has a casting time of Swift Action. If you use the 5th level Duskblade ability it allows you to cast a Standard Action spell as a Swift action. So the sequence of events is: Blade of Blood Swift Action Shocking Grasp cast as a Swift Action If I am correct you cannot perform 2 swift actions in the same round since you only get 1 swift action per round. Which would make this not a legal sequence of effect. Unless you can use a Move Action to perform a Swift Action. Which means he would have to be in melee, Cast Defensively BoB, Cast Defensively SG, and then swing once. Leading to a possible total of 12 - 52 damage with a Strength of 18. Otherwise he could on round one cast Blade of Blood, follow on round two with Shocking Grasp and then attack. This would take 2 rounds to do this but he could do it. This method allows him to move after each cast and can be done without Casting Defensively. Not at all broken or imbalanced should you follow either case out. [/QUOTE]
