[QUOTE="spectacle, post: 6770085, member: 6780410"] Where do the rules say that? I'm not rules laywering here, I honestly don't see any reason to handle spell attacks different from weapon attacks unless the rules say so, and as far as I can see they don't do that anywhere. I assume that if spell attacks were meant to be handled differently than other attacks it would be written somewhere. Please don't accuse people of being rules-lawyers just because not everyone agrees with your personal opinion of what the rules should be. EDIT, just noticed this bit you wrote "If your version were true, then a user of [I]eldritch blast[/I] or [I]scorching ray[/I] could keep the spell active and wait for new targets after he moved or wait until another round to expend other rays from the single casting." LOL no, both of those are explicitly against the rules. You are only allowed to move between weapon attacks, and instantaneous spells don't last longer than the action used to cast them. But neither of those rules restrict how targeting happens while you're casting a spell. [/QUOTE]
