Yeah there’s definitely flexibility. I really do want an official view somehow on the ‘two standard actions’ thing, but I think it’s right. Just looking at the numbers, it seems to make spells like Dismember really weak considering the time, effort and risk involved.Unless I’m misunderstand and that you can cast it every action once you’ve wasted the first action to sort of ‘bring the spell into your hands’. I’m still really lost.
I’m having an incredibly confusing chat about it over on the Conan games forum. The chap seems 100% sure Dismember only takes one action to cast, but I can’t work it out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/416593401791353/2444072292376777/?comment_id=2444466899003983&reply_comment_id=2445551922228814¬if_id=1568645235903355¬if_t=group_comment_mention
I’ve created a new thread in this forum to see if I can get a definitive answer. Thanks for having tried here. My new thread is at: How many standard actions does it take to fully cast a spell?
I need to get this right, as I’ve only GM’d Conan 2D20 once and a big baddie is a sorcerer - so if I mess up the spellcaster, it might really mess up the balance of the game (which I’m just getting used to).
