Re OOCII: I have used much summoning with my halfling conjurer and my druid (summon nature's ally - yet another reason druids kick butt). The summoning spell ends just before D.L.'s turn in this round, so he has a full round. One change in 3.5 from 3.0 is that the caster can decide particulars of the spell at the end of casting, instead of at the beginning (this change was just brought to my attention in Gansk's last session), so D.L. can decide where the centipede appears after the action of the opponent (within close range, of course).
