Turn Based Question/Suggestion

[Galaad]

This may have been covered somewhere and I missed it.

I know the combat is turn based...But do all actions take 1 turn or do some stronger spells take 2-3-4 turns to cast?

Same with other powerful abilities? This could be nice if it applied to monsters as well, allowing you to use "counter" spells or abilities or to "avoid" certain attacks.

This would greatly improve the tactical side of the game, while also giving a more evident use to spells or abilities that stun/slow down etc.

Would be nice if it applied to melee/ranged skills and not only spells.

If you are faced by a horde of fairly weak spider for example...a "ranger" type of fighter having trained the right skill could launch a hail of arrows that do less damage each but that can be shot 2-3 times per turn.

Same with a melee fighter, allowing you to rain blows on multiple foes, maybe with less damage/precision as well but allowing you to dispatch weak foes efficiently with the right skills.
