[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 638274, member: 1465"] Just wondering... 1) As a partial action you can "start a full-round action", so for example a hasted spellcaster could cast 3 Summon Monster every 2 rounds, isn't it? Such as: R1 - full action = cast SM , partial action = start casting SM R2 - partial action = finish casting SM , full action = cast SM But if "start a full-round action" is a partial action, what is "completing a full-round action"? Of course it is another partial action, but if the Haste effect ends before R2, is "completing" a standard action or a MEA? 2) Can or does it make sense to use Total Defense while hasted? You use a FRA to do TD (and get a move with it), then you still have a partial to use. Do you retain the TD bonus until the next round or does it go off before/immediately_after the partial? What if you FIRST take the partial and THEN the TD's move: do you have the AC bonus during the partial (e.g. if you suffer AoO)? 3) Can or does it make sense to Refocus while hasted? Refocus is a FRA with no 5ft step allowed, but do you get the partial action from haste? Can you Refocus both before or after the partial? [/QUOTE]
