[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4958138, member: 10784"] I think the author is pulling stuff out of his tookis... I don't have the RC with me, but anything that was a free action before in terms of spells (i.e. featherfall) is now considered either a Swift or Immediate action. Featherfall is Immediate since you can cast the spell when it's not your turn. Most spells, though, are Swift Actions. I assume Arcane Strike is listed as being a free action? If so, that at least seems correct in it being a swift action now? I don't see why a duskblade can't channel a swift action spell - their spell list is pretty limited as is, and limiting the few channel worthy swift action spells would limit the list even further (swift expeditious retreat and swift invisibility aren't really spells to channel onto your sword) Channelling something to buff the party is incorrect. If you continue on in that sentence about discharges at the end of the round, it then states:[I] in the case of a touch spell that would otherwise last more than one round.[/I] So, the spell is done after its one round of melee combat. Oh, and touching in melee combat as part of a full attack action is also specified in the rules as well. Buffing party members is not a full attack the last I checked? [/QUOTE]
