    Default Change description of Quicken

    From:
    While this metamagic feat is active, spells cast twice as fast and cannot be interrupted by enemy attacks, but they consume 10 additional spell points.

    To:
    While this metamagic feat is active, you cast spells twice as fast and you do not roll concentration checks when you take damage, but spells consume 10 additional spell points.

    Enemy attacks can obviously interrupt Quickened spells in DDO. Trip attacks, stun attacks, spell CC attacks, all stop/disrupt/interrupt spellcasting. The description is wrong and misleading.

    Don't forget Stair attacks. You know when steps attack you by making you climb over them, interrupting your quickened spells.

    Trip, stun, etc. are not attacks, per se, but special attack effects. A simple attack from an enemy does not interrupt a quickened spell. So if you are hankering for semantics, the description is accurate. As for whether this might be confusing for newbies is another issue, but I'm pretty sure it isn't so confusing they can't figure it out after one or two castings, and even then I doubt it has ever ruined anyone's day.
