Title: Contingency and Auto Response
Post by: Arioch on October 11, 2007, 06:18:03 AM

In the Auto Response V spell description (Arcane companion, Spell coordination, Wizard base)it's clearly stated that:

Quote

triggering of an auto response takes 0% of activity, but cannot violate the restriction of one spell per round

In contingency (same list), on the other hand, nothing is said about the one spell per round restriction. Does this mean that you can have a contingency spell triggered and still cast in the same round? And how much activity does a triggerd cotingency spell takes (since nothing is said I believe the same that would take normal casting of the spell).
Thanks

IMO, it takes 0% activity but you cannot cast a spell that round. ie you start to cast the "triggered" effect happens; so your spell goes off next round.

I have always house ruled away this rule because otherwise having such spells is pretty much a death sentence in many situations. It totally ruins the play experience if a wizard is killed because an autoresponse spell prevented him from casting the spell he needs.
