[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9216383, member: 20564"] [I]sigh[/I] Because if the attack is part of the casting instead of part of the effect, the attack would go off. Used as one of the examples why it is worth arguing about. You can not have both that it doesn't matter and that this is definitely true, because if it doesn't matter there is a case it's not true. I'm not arguing about it, I am repeatly explaining that the rules are definite about a matter. One you both claim doesn't matter, yet agree with the result about counterspell and antimagic which is only true if it matters. This isn't a debate. This is me educating you about the rules, and you keep handwaving them away saying they doesn't matter. But the rules still exist even if you don't think they matter. I'm confused you're still on this. We've agreed about this point long ago. The rules that I quoted before you did, with page numbers, as the third post in the whole chain, show it's true. The rules are the rules. It doesn't care if you don't understand why a rule is there. It's still a rule. The effects of a spell happen once the casting of the spell completes. That's all. Saying 'it doesn't matter" to if parts of the spell effects happen during casting - and therefore even if casting isn't completed successfully is just wrong. At no point am I educating you on opinion. [/QUOTE]
