Message: <blockquote data-quote="JacktheRabbit" data-source="post: 4884362" data-attributes="member: 525">DM made a ruling today and would like opinions. Party of foes fighting a creature that is casting a full round action spell. While casting the spell one of the players moved past the creature. The creature has natural weapons and the DM ruled that the creature was able to make an Attack of Opportunty on the passing character without losing the full round spell being cast.Ever player at the table completely disagreed but the DM was firm that nowhere in the rules does it say you cannot AOO while casting a full round spell.In this he is technically right but after doing more checking I found this:Casting TimeMost spells have a casting time of 1 standard action.Others take 1 round or more, while a few require only afree action.A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a full-round action.It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turnin the round after you began casting the spell. You then actnormally after the spell is completed.A spell that takes 1 minute to cast comes into effect justbefore your turn 1 minute later (and for each of those 10rounds, you are casting a spell as a full-round action, justas noted above for 1-round casting times). These actionsmust be consecutive.The line about acting normally AFTER the spell is complete tells me that things like AOO cannot be made unless the caster wants to ruin their own spell.Opinions?</blockquote>
