Stealth and Quickened Spells

[Azurelink]

I am looking at the revised rules from here...

While this isn't the most important or most used thing in the world, I am curious about this. I have been told standard actions break stealth (which is what most spells are anyway and that is clearly listed in the revised rules).

Swift actions are available while using Stealth, however. So now I wonder, can we use Quickened Spells while under stealth? Of course, verbal components can be heard so Silent spells may also be necessary to pull off properly.

I doubt this concept is something most people will use (afterall, who will be running around choosing to cast a single swift spell in combat when they can use a swift spell and a standard spell). But if this is allowed, I think it would be interesting to see how this would play out in a unique assassination/infiltration scenario. Imagine a stealthy spellcaster (Dark Tapestry Oracle in my case) sneaking into an area and using various mind effecting spells to, instead of directly killing someone, get a guard (or a relative) to attack the target. Instead of framing someone, you are forcing someone to do your dirty work.

It's a strange concept I would love to try and get to work.

It would also give DMs something to work with. If the players are getting hit by spells while fighting other creatures and they can't even find the spellcaster, they won't be able to stop the spells from hitting them easily. Maybe this sounds better on paper than in action, but it is something to experiment with.

That blog post was just a first draft of a future rewrite that hasn't been finished yet. It's already had a lengthy thread of discussion, and that discussion has since stopped and been taken into consideration for a second draft, which has already been written and is being reviewed in the Paizo offices. It's anticipated to be arriving on the blog soon, at which point more discussion will ensue.

So these aren't the "new rules". Original stealth rules still apply until further notice.
