[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4956619, member: 71571"] Guess what? This isn't Magic: The Gathering, and these power things aren't 'fast effects' that go on a stack, where you resolve the last thing done quicker by dint of it being last. That's -only- reasonable if casting a Wall of Ice is actually a faster task to do than breathing fire. It either is, or it is not. If they take the same amount of time, that is -not good enough.- Seeing as both actions are seen as taking the same amount of time to complete, interrupts can't happen. And if they could, then you'd have the situation where breath is faster than Wall of Ice if the breath starts -last- and Wall of Ice would be faster if it went -last.- In other words, actions are quicker to cast the more people are doing things to each other. Doesn't. Make. Sense. Well, those immediate interrupts -are- fast. Shield, for example, takes barely a thought, BAM, it's up as a split-second reaction to a magic missle headed your way. Yes. And it is a power designed to do -just that-. It is not at -all- the same thing as waiting for the right moment to summon the energies to cast that Wall of Ice. [/QUOTE]
