I can use one during my standard action. There is no upper limit but all have to coincide with a regular action. No free actions if you cannot perform a standard or move action. Giving short series or orders, while discarding a weapon are free actions that can both be performed during a move/standard action.

If not...I don't. :) Exactly! Speaking is a free action; reciting an epic poem is not. Still, 6 seconds is pretty long. I would guess it would be the amount of time required to say the following: Exactly! Speaking is a free action; reciting an epic poem is not. Still, 6 seconds is pretty long. About three sentences :) Still, some free actions can be performed simultaneously, while others cannot. One could say the above quote AND wink at the princess. But one could not say the entire quote AND stick his tongue out at the BBEG. Maybe he could say half of it AND wink at the princess AND stick his tongue out at the BBEG. StoneStokes
