Let's start with a question on spell duration.
A conjuration specialist gets a duration bonus on his spells. Is this bonus multiplied when you use metamagic to extend duration or is the bonus applied after?
I've assumed that the duration is added before the multiplication, but you never know with these things...
Now for a question on casting time:
If a spell is cast with a casting time of one full round the effect kicks in before your next round. If you cast enlarge person (full round action to cast) on a character who, during his next round before casting time is over, leaves your range... What happens to the spell? Does it fail or does it take effect?
Similarily, and this occured last game, what happens in the following scenario:
1: Wizard cast enlarge person on Paladin
2: Paladin drops the weapon he's holding to draw another weapon
3: Wizard gets to act again and the spell effect kicks in
4: Paladin takes up the weapon he previously dropped from the ground
Is the weapon medium or large?
(yes I was miffed at the player for doing that, but the GM was generous and allowed him to keep the weapon large)

Casting Time: "A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a full-round action. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed.
...You make all pertinent decisions about a spell (range, target, area, effect, version, and so forth) when the spell comes into effect."

1. Wizard begins casting enlarge person.
2. Paladin draws a weapon.3. Wizard's turn begins, spell goes off, wizard chooses target (paladin) and spell effect is applied (he and his weapon get bigger).
The dropped weapon should be medium because it was not on the target of the spell and because of that was not enlarged.
