Question about using magic as part of a full attack


Rules Questions


If your base attack bonus is high enough to permit two attacks as part of a full-round action, can you cast two spells provided they each have a casting time of one standard action?

For example, could I cast Haste on myself and party one round. Then the next round, cast true strike on myself, prepare ghoul touch, 5-foot step, and then land the touch?


No. A full-round attack is a special action used for attacking with weapons or with natural attacks; it can't be applied to spellcasting.

You can cast multiple spells in one round only if you can cast one of them with a swift action (for instance with the Quicken Spell metamagic feat).

Or with Time Stop. OP, the spell level on both of these options should tell you how powerful casting multiple spells per round is.


A full round action is not made up of multiple standard actions.

In a normal round, you can perform a standard action and a move action, or you can perform a full-round action.
