[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1474173, member: 1656"] So do you feel that someone with a Staff of Power should be able to release a Magic Missile, Lightning Bolt, Fireball, and Cone of Cold with a single Spell Trigger action? A Ring of Shooting Stars activate Ball Lightning and Shooting Stars at the same time? They're all multiple abilities of the same item. What's the difference? If Vorpal and Keen were both command-word activated, I'd require two actions to get both of [i]them[/i] running as well. Absolutely. What's the difference between that, and an item that casts Bless, Haste, Mass Bull's Strength and Mass Cat's Grace with a single command word, and a single standard action? An ability that requires a command word needs a standard action to activate. Two abilities, therefore, need two standard actions. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
