    Default Multiple Swift/Immediate Actions?

    Poked around with search and couldn't find any answers. Are there non-homebrew ways to increase the number of immediate/swift actions you get in a round? Thanks!

    I don't think so. Nothing in Core/Completes/Races certainly. There maybe something setting specific (I'm looking at you action points) but I'm not a setting expert. Arguably White Raven Tactics does it, but it doesn't really give you more in a turn, it just gives you your turn right now.

    Avoiding homebrew? You can never have more than 1. In addition, if you use 1 of either type, you've blown your ability to use the other type that round. You can't even replace a standard action with a swift. They don't swap in.

    If you need to do this, I think you're hosed.

    Oh, actually, I can think of a way. Do something that would increase the casting time. If you could find a way to get a swift spell reclassified as standard, that might work. Maybe apply metamagic?

    I believe that the divine impetus class feature of the ruby knight vindicator allows one to spend turn attempts for extra swifts.

    Alright then, how 'bout homebrew?

    And it's not for casting, but rather for maneuvers and other combat tactics.

    Stance of Alacrity (6th level Diamond Mind stance) allows you to use a single counter each turn without burning your Immediate Action.

    Yup. And it's rather overpowered, when abused. Beyond that... er, time stop/temporal acceleration? I don't believe there's really anything else that outright gives extra immediate/standard actions.

    Where's person man? He's probably got a list of ways to (ab)use action economy.

    Seconded, that stance was the first thing to cross my mind.
    Will be edited by Ryuuk : Sometime in the future.

    Of course in Epic there's a feat, Multispell, that lets you take extra Swift Actions as long as they're Quickened Spells.

    I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.

    Synad (Complete Psionic) can spend 1 PP to get an extra swift action 1/day (mental only) as a racial ability.

    Swordsage 20 lets you use two boosts in one turn 3/day, which is a limited and expensive form of what you want.
