Actions during combat

[Shoga]

As everyone knows, there's free actions, swift/immediate, Move, standard and full attack actions. And, we know we can change a standard action into another move action in a round. What I would like to know is if it would be possible/acceptable to change a swift action to a move action.

I am playing a Magus(Kensai/Bladebound)which uses a lot of swift actions for a good portion of their abilities. Would it be possible to use a swift action to replace a move action, thereby giving you 2 swift actions in a round?

My Initial response is i know where you are coming from, and honestly it depends on your GM, I don't believe there is anything in the base rules that covers something like this.

The danger in something like this is it allows high level casters to use 3 spells in a round instead of just two and other cheesey stuff like that which is why there are very few if any ways to get multiple swift actions in a round to begin with

This is not possible. Swift actions are an extremely valuable resource, and they are definitely not inherently "lesser" than move actions.

As far as I know, there is no possible way within the game to get more than one swift action per round.

The limitation on swift actions is a vital part of the action economy, and magi in particular must be bound by it.

Only 1 per rd. My dwarven inquisitor would like 3 a rd but those are the rules.

If we allow a Move Action to replace a Swift Action then all sorts of abusive cheeze becomes possible. Casting three spells per round is the most obvious. Swift/immediate Actions are a precious commodity, because you only ever get one per round.

Technically possible to do that now, but your selection of spells for the move action is rather limited.
