Call Lightning & casting other spells.

[bubba99]

Can a Druid cast an additional spell in the same round that he calls a bolt of lightning?

 

[Hypersmurf]

Can a Druid cast an additional spell in the same round that he calls a bolt of lightning?

Yes, but the limiting factor is that calling a bolt requires a standard action.

So if the druid somehow has two standard actions available, or if he wishes to cast a spell with a swift or immediate action casting time, he's fine.

But the average druid couldn't call a bolt and also cast Flame Strike, because that needs two standard actions.

So in short, be a creature with Quickness (Su) via shapechange, or use the MIC belt that grants an extra standard action. Or, as Hyp said, cast quickened spells.
