[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 456391, member: 752"] The passage in T&B is "certainly not" as clear cut as you make it out to be in your post. Several people have asked the Sage, and his answer has been as I explained above. Here is the e-mail I sent November 3, 2001 (Skip's replies in [b]bold[/b]): [i]How does Haste affect the casting of full-round spells? I have read the relevant parts of the FAQ, T&B abd PHB, and I'm still not sure how it's supposed to work.[/i] [b]Every partial action you spend counts as half a full-round, action, see page 80 in Tome and Blood.[/b] [i]Douglas the Druid is hasted (round 1), and as he starts his turn in round 2 he wants to get of his "Summon Nature's Ally" and "Animal Growth" spells as quickly as possible. 1. Douglas casts Summon Nature's Ally as his "regular" action (a full-round action). Since Haste allows him to take his extra partial action after he finishes the spell (T&B p. 80), and the partial action occurs on his turn, the summon spell must be completed _immediately_ and he can use his partial action to cast Animal Growth.
