Message: <blockquote data-quote="Magus_Jerel" data-source="post: 128426" data-attributes="member: 3940">A basic ASSUMPTION - maybe... but I don't assume that which is not a given.As far as quickened spell - here is the exact text I have.Quickened spell [Metamagic]You can cast a spell at a moments thoughtBenefit: Casting a quickened spell is a free action.  You can perform another action, even casting another spell in the same round as you cast a quickened spell.  You may only cast one quickened spell per round.  A spell whose casting time is more than one full round cannot be quickened.  A quickened spell uses up a slot four levels higher than the spell's actual level.Note what ISN'T there:It has to be your turn to cast a quickened spell.Granted - I use first printing, second run of the PHB - and don't have a second printing copy - but I don't recall seeing ANYTHING like that in the errata or in the rules concerning free actions that I have, which I repost for convenience of all.Free Action: Free Actions consume a very small amount of time and effort, and over the span of the round, their impact is so minor that they are considered free. You can perform one or more free actions while taking another action normally. However, the DM may put reasonable limits on what you can do for free. For instance, calling out to your friends for help is free. Reciting your clan's war history, however, takes several minutes. Again - note what ISN'T there:It has to be your turn for you to take a free action.Granted - SPECIFIC actions may bear that restriction - such as that of the Barbarian entering His rage - but when this is present you  see something like what follows:Entering a rage takes no time in and of itself, but a barbarian can only do it during his action. (under Barbarian's Rage ability - about midway down page 25)Now - show Me text like THAT concerning quickened spells - and I have to concede the point - but believe Me, I can't find it.If I be right - maybe I get to make a total ass out of the entire LC for pointing this slight trivial insignificant point out?Now - again... I do admit that there IS a caveat under suprise- an unaware combatant cannot act, but I am presuming that both combatants ARE aware.</blockquote>
