[QUOTE="Victim, post: 55912, member: 78"] I would say that Mass Haste is better than Chain Lightning, and more comparable to this spell. Mass Haste will generally give a group 4 extra actions each round. Wiz: Mass Haste + ?, Cleric: ?+?, Fighter: partial charge + full attack, Rogue: tumble, attack, full attack. If cast quick enough, it rules for the first round, allowing the melees to close and still take a full attack. Improved Haste gives the most benefits to fighter types. Haste already gives them a strong ability, the big first attack at full bonuses. IH will give them their secondary attacks at decreasing bonuses. It's still really good. However, I don't think it's any better than Mass Hasting everyone, and will be less effective in large groups. If every wants to melee (pretty crazy), then casting mass haste gives 4 exrta attacks to the 4 man group, and more to a larger one. Improved haste would give 4 extra attacks to a high level fighter, and more likely less. These attacks are also coming at iterative penalties too. It'd be most useful in small to medium size groups with one kick ass fighter. [/QUOTE]
