Spell on the run feat?

Gnome · Feb 28, 2005

Does there exist a feat anywhere that allows a spellcaster to move, then cast a spell, them move again? If so, where? TIA.

I haven't seen one, but if it had Dodge and Mobility as prereqs, it prolly wouldn't be too bad. I'd add in some other kind of prereq to require a caster be at least, say, 10th level to take it though- it's a pretty darn cool ability imho.

Mobile Spellcasting, in the Complete Adventurer.

There isn't one that I know of.

As an equivalent to Spring Attack or Shot On the Run, with equal prerequisites, I'd probably allow one, though. It's 3 feats which is a serious investment for a spellcaster. Useful? Definitely. But not unbalanced for the cost.

[edit] I really need to take a closer look at Comp Adv and Comp Arc.

One more option

You may also want to consider Flyby Attack if you can fly most of the time. Better than Mobile Spellcasting, because it doesnt require a Concentration Check and you can do many different types of standard actions.

Mobile Spellcasting is in someways even better... you could move up to double your movement in a round and still cast a spell. The prereqs are absurdly low, too. You do have to be somewhat careful with the concentration checks, tho.

Flyby attack has the prerequisite of a fly speed, and if you're trying to pick it up on the basis of spells (fly, overland fly etc) giving you a fly speed, thats opening up a can of worms...
