I think it takes a standard action to "steal" a spell from a willing target, so if you took the time to steal your own spell, sounds good

Rillek_Denar 02-19-07, 06:30 PM	Lol, sorry. Missed that. Meant to say Cleric 1/Spellthief 4
taski 02-19-07, 06:45 PM	Oh, okay. If golem strike is one of your spellthief spells known... I think you can do it. You would be taking the standard action to steal inflict from yourself, and it only takes a swift action to cast golem strike, so you could do all that in one round. However, the spell only lasts 1 round, so you'd be better off saving golem strike until the next round so you can use a standard action to attack that construct. You'd be sacrificing one attack and a spell to make a sneak attack the next round -- doesn't sound too bad to me.
Rillek_Denar 02-19-07, 08:14 PM	Yeah, it's an undead heavy campaign. I wanted a quick fix to sneak attack the undead (dipping Cleric for Grave Strike), but I wanted to see what else the dip could be used for.
