How many free actions in 1 round?

[Leopold]

Just like it says, how many free actions can a person do in one round. My house rule is: As many free actions as Dex modifiers. My players say only one per round.

which is right and where?

 

[Crothian]

THere is no hard fast rule here. I always use best judgement on what seems right. Welcome to the gray area of the rules.

 

[Bastoche]

As many as the DM say you can get.

 

[Leopold]

so what would be a good judge of free actions lets say a demon/devil gets per round? INT modifier? Movement free actions DEX modifier??


can anyone point me to anything that says some sort of guidelines?

 

[Bastoche]

I don't believe there is any guideline in the rules.

Personnaly, we always had an unlimited number of free actions in our games because it never ever was a problem.

Although I think there is a limit of one quickened spell per round though. Look under the quicken spell feat.

 

[Bastoche]

BTW if your players says limit of one per round, I hope there's no archers among them or else they would find the "rapid shot" feat pretty useless. Pulling an arrow from a quiver is a free action...

 

[Bastoche]

I think it would be a mistake to state a general rule. It has to be resolved on a case by case basis. By the DM.

Guidelines would be nice, but there aren't any. With rapid shot a 16thlevel fighter could get five free actions with quickdraw, to draw daggers and throw them.

Do you know what free actions the demon would want to take?

 

[AuraSeer]

If you're thinking about the demon's spell-like abilities, keep in mind that "at will" does not mean a free action. That only means there's no limit on the number of uses per day.

Spell-like abilities always take a standard action to activate.

I'm speaking about verbage like this:

"As a free action the target can use a spell like ability"



Here is where we have gray area.
