Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 739473" data-attributes="member: 1465">So, if you cast a Summon Monster spell, you are considered being casting the spell (and therefore required a successful Concentration check if hit in the meantime) until your next turn - when the spell takes effect - while instead spontaneously casting a metamagicked spell just completes at the end of your turn?It sounds strange that the 2 cases are so different. I have never been 100% sure of the meaning of the rule above, particularly with the sentence The character then acts normally after the spell is completed, which seems to hint that he does NOT act normally while he is still casting, and always made me think he can be disrupted (if he can be counterspelled is another matter <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />).Anyway, IIRC there is a FAQ or Sage response that stated you can use the partial action granted by Haste (the good'ol one<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> ) to complete casting a full-round spell, which then would have avoided you the risk of being disrupted.I think this is an issue whose 3.5e clarification I will pray for. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
