Make Quicken Spells work instantly like Phantom's Ghost Step.

Unread post by kitteninablender »

Pretty self-explanatory.

Quickened spells take no verbal or somatic components and can be cast as an act of pure will.

Can you change the spellcasting times of those spells into an instantly activated ability like the Phantom's Ghost Step, but then give it a 6 second cooldown so that it's limited to one quickened spell per turn?

You could even potentially make Quicken Spell into a mode?

Turn the mode on, first spell each turn is cast as if Quickened, as long as you have that spell prepared or as long as you have an available spell-slot with which it could be quickened.

You could make it like the spell "Deflect." First time you cast a quickened spell you gain the Feat that lets you activate it. Work the same way too. Only works if you have the spell prepared, just like a Reserve Feat.

Thoughts? Ideas?

They actually were instant in vanilla, but it's simply imbalanced, especially in pvp. It's way too powerful.
