[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 1024868, member: 111"] [i]Not[/i] end of discussion. ALL movement, if it truly meant "ALL," would include all movement in your entire life. Or perhaps that day. Or that comabt. Or that round. Or during the Charge action. All equally valid if you fosu ONLY on the words "ALL MOVEMENT" wihout regard to context. Let's look at the actual text. Hmmm. Without further modifiers, the rules of plain English would mean that "all movement" was refering to "move up to double base movement" in the previous sentence. Refering to anything else would require some form of explanation in that second sentence, like adding the words "in the round" right after "movement." Let me lay it out better, one step at a time. 1. "All movement must...." Begs the question "All [i]which[/i] movement." 2. With no explanation contained in that sentence we are forced to look to the surrounding text. 3. We find "...up to double base speed." Ah. That [i]must[/i] be it. So rephrasing only the movement portion, we get 4. During a charge you may move up to double base speed and all this movement must be in a straight line. The only other reasonable possibility would be that it "all movement" was in reference to the larger topic - that is, the "Charge" action. To state that "all movement" means "all movement in the round" is not a logical conclusion form the text [/i]as written[/i]. It is the largest change you could possibly make (short of silly things like "all movement in the entire comabat") to make sense of the words "all movement." Mind you, I am not saying that the author might not have meant for it to be all movement in the round even if Hasted, but I submit that the text [/]as written[/i] does not support that conclusion.
