Quicken Spell - taken away from wizards?


General Discussion (Prerelease)


I need a clarification on this.

I noticed that quicken spell can be used by spontaneous casters, which made me rather happy, but the wording of it in the beta seem to imply that it was ONLY for spontaneous casters.

Did the wizard get robbed out of quicken spell? I can't imagine that would be consistent with backwards compatiblity.

Please tell me this is incorrect.

The wording was merely meant to add that where before is was prohibited to spontaneous casters it is now within the realms of possible use.

Perhaps the special note could be changed for clarity. Reading something like this.

Special: Unlike other metamagic feats, Quicken Spell does not increase casting time. Instead spontaneous spells cast from any source with this metamagic feat applied are cast as a swift action.


Oh thank the lord.

I had a friggin' panic attack there for a moment.
