[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9257108, member: 2629"] As others point out, there is no rule against it. Some would argue that implies there is a rule against it due to the movement statement. That is easily argued as either implying there is a rule, or as a reminder that you can do things between attacks in a multi-attack. When I encounter a situation where I do not know how the rules should handle it, I consider the following: 1.) Do I think I can find the rule in 30 seconds? If so, look for up to ~30 seconds. If not, make a call. 2.) Have I set up precedent before that I remember? If so, use it (unless I've discovered a rule that says I was wrong). If not, make a call. 3.) Do I feel there is a logical, reasonable and expected outcome? If so, use it. 4.) Do I feel there is an answer that makes the story better? If so, use it. 5.) Do I feel there is an answer that is more fun for the players? If so, use it. 6.) Flip a coin, roll a die, go with gut. Here, if I did not already have a rule and did not think it a well settled rule, I'd say the answer to Q3 is no, but the answer to Q4 (and Q5) would be yes - so I would allow it. In the future, if an enemy wanted to use an action surge type ability to drop a spell between attacks against the PCs, we'd stop the analysis at Q2 and say yes. [/QUOTE]
