HASTE, help plz.

[TurboTroll]

Where can I find some official clarification about using haste and casting full round spells, eg. monster summoning or bard's metamagic spell. after reading PH and T&B I'm little confused.

as I can read in T&B, it looks like:

1st round: (I'm have haste already)
DM puts attention on my action and allows me to cast spell.
so I'm starting to wave "monster summoning" spell.
DM skips attention to next player....
...other player's 1st round...

just b4 my 2nd round DM puts attention an me again, my monster(s) are summoned, then I'm getting my my partial action to cast 2nd spell,

2nd round:
something... something...

but what is happening when the partial is used to start another full round spell ?

or maybe standard action+movement is understand as full round in case when i have haste and i have the partial after the standard + movement part?, but in such case i could cast full round spell+ordinary spell in one my round...

is there some link or pdf or doc file or dragon where i could find some sage advice or clarification ?

With haste you can cast a full round spell such as monster summoning, and then you have a partial action left over that would allow you to do anything you could do with a partial action such as:

Cast another, 1 action spell.
Move your base movement.
Drink a potion
Begin to cast another "full round" action spell, which would needed to be finished the follow round.


I believe the beastie would still appear the next round though. Although I seem to remember somewhere that you could allow your partial action from haste to allow the summoned creature to appear that round......I think it was a Sage advice question but I could be remembering wrong.

I don't have my books in front of me so someone may contradict my statements but I believe that is how it works.

Nevermind.

Probably haste cannot reduce the casting time for a Monster Summoning, because you cast faster, but the time the creature you summon takes to "travel" to your plane is absolute (fixed).

Haste allows you to caste a Full Round spell on your action. You use your whole action plus the partial action to cast the spell.

In the case of a Summon Monster spell the monster appears and immediately attacks.

Unless you use the Hasted Partial Action before casting a Full Round spell it is used finishing the spell and you can't use the Oartial Action for any else.
