03-15-06, 11:37 AM Group A meets group B. Group A casts haste, so they get all of those goodies like an extra attack, faster movement, etc. Group B on their turn casts haste, and speeds up to the same speed as group A. In your game, would you say everyone is now moving normally with respect to each other and therefore neither group has the advantage, thus nullifying the spell, or would you give both of the groups all the extra attacks and goodies from the spell even though they are moving at the same speed?

Though they are moving the same speed relative to each other, they are all moving faster than the absolute time frame of 6 seconds per round.

03-15-06, 11:59 AM the mechanics are not equivalent, since spell durations are not impacted by haste. You need to run it as written, the shortcut doesn't work.

03-15-06, 12:41 PM The spell does not change the recipients in comparison to one-another. It changes them with respect to all of reality, or more to the point, changes them with respect to what is normal for them.

So both parties in your scenario get the benefit of the spell, and a whole lot of extra attacks and movement are played out.
