== Casting Attack Bonus (CAB) ==

An alternative system allowing a dedicated, and advanced, caster to use his magic more freely.

=== System ===
CAB (Casting Attack Bonus) is the casting equivalent of BAB. While it provides no bonuses to any checks or rolls, it does provide the casting equivalent of iterative attacks. Each such iterative casting action can be used to cast a spell with a casting time of free, swift or immediate. Iterative casing actions due to high CAB stack with any extra actions gained from the multispell epic feat. This requires a full-round action.

The number of iterative casting actions gained is equal to the number of iterative attacks gained via BAB for a fighter of equal level. No caster may gain a number of iterative casting actions greater than his primary casting ability modifier. Only full progression casters gain this option.

Example 1: A 13 level wizard with an 18 INT would have a CAB of 3, allowing up to 3 iterative casting actions with a full-round action. The wizard could cast up to 3 spells with a casting time of immediate, swift or free. He could take no other action, save a 5-foot step.

Example 2: The same wizard, but with only a 15 INT, would be limited to a maximum of 2 iterative casting actions because his INT ability modifier is only 2.
