[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6521490, member: 13009"] Exactly what I am proposing, there is nothing saying it can't be done. A caster could be in the middle of a 1 minute casting time spell like a conjure or a dispel evil and good, the requirements are he use his action every round for 1 minute to cast the spell. During that time he can move up to his speed each round, take all the normal reactions you would expect like making attacks of opportunity or casting a reaction spell like shield or counterspell, as long as he maintains "concentration" and uses his action each round all is good. So move, spend action casting dispel evil on possessed party member being caried by another party member, use reaction to cast shield to keep from getting hit from an attack because you don't want to have to make a concentration check on the dispel evil spell. Next round move some more, spend action continuing to cast dispel evil, interact with an object like open a door, guy on other side of door now next to you on his turn moves away you can make an attack of opportunity on him. Next round keep casting dispel evil, a wizard in this room casts scorching ray at you, you use your reaction to cast counterspell against it. Move some more....and so on and so on. Nothing says you can't take reactions (including casting reaction spells) while spending actions casting another spell. It doesn't matter if the casting time on the first spell is 1 action or 1 hour or anywhere in between. [/QUOTE]
