Moveable Spells

[thorin001]

If you have a spell or effect that you can move X feet with a move action (Like Flaming Sphere or Roaming Pit), can you move it twice by taking two move actions?

I think it depends on the spell. For flaming sphere, it says it's a move action to move the sphere, but also specifically states that it moves 30 feet -per round-. So I think you can only move it once - though your GM can rule otherwise if they feel it makes sense.

Roaming pit on the other hand, only states the move action and nothing else, so I'd say that could be moved twice.

Part of it might be the spell level. Roaming pit is minimum 11th level to cast, so two movements wouldn't be game breaking. Rolling a fiery ball around 60 ft. of distance at 3rd level might make it a tad overpowered at that level.

No: The caster can use a move action to direct a Flaming Sphere, but it moves only 30'/round.

As a move action, you can direct the pit to move up to 20 feet,

Yes: movement is based on the caster using a move action, it is not capped per round.

Other spells will also be on a case-by-case basis, depending on specific wording.
