05-10-05, 04:57 PM Just wondering how many ways there are to cast a spell and make an attack in the same round.

1. Quickened spell + full attack
2. Havoc Mage PrC (Minatures Handbook) battlecast special ability
3. Draconic Bloodline feat (dragon?) + Dragon Claw feat (also Dragon?) gives you a swift action claw attack when you cast a spell.
4. Casting a touch spell gives you a free touch attack, but that doesnt really count.

Anyone know any others?

05-10-05, 06:05 PM The Heroic Surge feat is probably the easiest way...

05-10-05, 06:37 PM Contingent spell and full attack.

Familiar spell should also work.

05-10-05, 07:47 PM The psionic power Schism can let you full attack and manifest a power every round. Not sure if you will count psionics as "casting spells" for your purposes.

- Use Spell-storing weapon.
- Use Spell that is a free action (example: feather fall).
- Start casting "casting time: 1 round" spell on the previous round

05-10-05, 08:32 PM Heroic Surge... where is that from?Its in the Eberron Campaign Setting, though it would only work if your game uses action points.

05-10-05, 08:45 PM Spellrazor feat lets you cast & attack with touch spell, and attack with a quickrazor in off-hand, as a full round action. But the requirement is too demanding.

05-11-05, 12:23 AM Ahem... The "Havoc Mage" from the miniatures handbook has exactly that as it's special ability (cast a spell and make a melee attack in the same round as a full-round action). However, you lose a couple of spell casting level to do it. On the upside though you will eventually get to do it with up to 9th level spells.
