03-05-07, 05:57 PM I am looking for a feat or mechanic that allows an illusionist to cast a secojnd spell while concentrating on an illusion. I am almost positive I saw it somewhere, whether it was a feat or prestige class feature I can't remember. Anyone know if this is actually out there somewhere and where I can find it.

03-05-07, 06:04 PM there is a feat someplace that allows you to maintain consentration ofn a spell as a move-equivelent action. I do not remember the name of the feat, or what book it is in, or any other limitations on it off the top of my head.

My personal favorite is to get a way to cast Sonorous Hum- Level 2 bard spell from spell compendium.

03-05-07, 06:57 PM The concentration feats in Complete Adventurer allow you to move or do other actions while concentrating but specifically prohibit casting a second spell.

Thanks elporko for pointing out Sonorous Hum, that should be helpful. It works as a 3rd level wizard spell, but the mechanics suggest you have to cast it beforehand. Ideally, I would like a feature that allows me to concentrate on an ilusion spell and (only if I need to) cast another. Anybody else have any ideas.

03-06-07, 02:47 AM There is a skill trick from Complete Scoundrel that lets you concentrate as a swift action. However the rules on concentration do specifically say that you can't cast another spell while concentrating.

From the Magic section of the SRD:
Concentration: The spell lasts as long as you concentrate on it. Concentrating to maintain a spell is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Anything that could break your concentration when casting a spell can also break your concentration while you’re maintaining one, causing the spell to end. You can’t cast a spell while concentrating on another one. Sometimes a spell lasts for a short time after you cease concentrating.
