Like for instance, Magic Missile has a casting time of 1, whereas Bless has a time of 1 round. Now, in BG2, and IWD2 etc etc, 1 round lasts six seconds. But I've seen that Time Stop has a casting time of 9.

I always thought that a CT of 1 meant a delay of 1 second. But if a round is 6 seconds long, the CT for Time Stop shouldnt be possible. :confused:

So, how exactly does Casting Time work, with regards to the time for 1 round.

Also, is 1 round longer than a casting time of say...9 ?? :confused:

Casting time is expressed in tenths of a round, not seconds. So a casting time of 1 is 0.6 seconds.
