Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Ben" data-source="post: 147214" data-attributes="member: 1396">Delay spell allows you to delay the effects of spells from 1-5 rounds similiar to delayed blast fireball.  It takes a slot 3 levels higher.   This isn't really what I wanted to do.  I just wanted to cast fireball as a full-round action in order to get off 4 spells in one round before the PC's had a round inbetween to activate defensive measures.   Also to scare them into believing themselves faced with superior enemy forces by using overwhelming firepower.For a High level Cleric (in the Temple of EE) I can do this easy....Round 1. Drink haste, drink invis, then the PC's come through the door.Round 2. Cast Spell Resistance, then start casting Fire Storm.  Hopefully the PC's will start searching for loot since they don't know it's combat yet.Round 3. Finish casting Fire Storm for a possible 15d6, cast a Flame Strike (15d6), cast another Flame Strike (15d6), cast a quickened searing light against whoever looks to be wounded.  So now a PC of my choice takes 45d6 + 5d8  which is probably going to be more then enough to kill them since nobody has good reflex saves except an archer who only has 70hp.This works nice because Clerics have lots of nice damaging spells that are full-round actions.  But for a Wizard you'd have to be able to voluntarily turn a fireball into a full-round if you wished...  I doubt I'd actually do it since I don't want to just kill them outright, but thinking about tactics made me wonder if it was possible.</blockquote>
