Extraordinary Concentration + Call Lighting

[Yogibear41]

Can I use the feat Extraordinary Concentration in conjunction with the Call Lightning feat to call several lightning bolts per round instead of the normal limit of 1?

For example can I call down 1 as a swift action, then 1 as a move action, then 1 as a standard action (assuming I make the concentration checks)

Or am I limited to only 1 per round even if I can call one down as a swift action?


If this feat doesn't work, is there another feat that will allow me to do this?

Immediately upon completion of the spell, and once per round thereafter, you may call down a 5-foot-wide, 30-foot-long, vertical bolt of lightning that deals 3d6 points of electricity damage.?

Unfortunately, nothing about shifting around the action you use to concentrate on the spell bypasses that line.

Just one per round - that's pretty clear from the spell, as that restriction is mentioned a couple of times separate from the standard action concentration line. I'm not sure if the spell requires concentration of the kind the Extraordinary Concentration feat refers to; it may just mean concentration like is needed to cast a spell in the first place (ie, if you're taking damage or otherwise being disrupted you need to make a Concentration check to call the lightning bolt. Stupid D&D word re-use..) and the necessary action is always a Standard.

That said, I'd lean toward allowing it, again subject to one bolt/round even if you can get it to a Swift concentration.

Oh well, was working on a possible Blaster Urban Druid build, and other than Disintegrate, the call lightnings are basically the only damage spells. Guess I will have to re-think my strategy.

Check out Frostburn; lots of good Druid blasting in there.

Also, Call Lightning Storm is a separate spell, so you could have both running at once for two bolts / round.

Only spells an Urban Druid gets are in the Dragon Compendium, so frost burn is only for normal druids.
