Free actions don’t take any time at all, though there may be limits to the number of free actions you can perform in a turn. Free actions rarely incur attacks of opportunity. Some common free actions are described below.
| Free Action | Attack of Opportunity§ |
|---|---|
| Cast a quickened spell | No |
| Cease concentration on a spell | No |
| Drop an item | No |
| Drop to the floor | No |
| Prepare spell components to cast a spell† | No |
| Speak | No |
§ Regardless of the action, if you move out of a threatened square, you usually provoke an attack of opportunity. This column indicates whether the action itself, not moving, provokes an attack of opportunity.
† Unless the component is an extremely large or awkward item.
