The full attack action is always a full round action in 3rd edition, and it also allows a 5-foot step. Haste only grants a partial action. You can perform anything in a partial action that you can normally perform in a standard action. The difference between the partial action and the standard action is that a standard action and a move or move-equivalent action can be performed in the same round. However, a partial action only, and usually, allows a 5-foot step as well.
For example, two of the times that partial actions come into play are 1) when you are hasted, you get an additional partial action per round, and 2) when you are slowed, you are restricted to one partial action per round. These are not the only two situations in which you will see this happen, but they're probably the most common.
You do actually play 3rd edition, right? Just pokin'. Hope that helps though.
Okay. If Slow allows you to take only one partial action, which is either Move or Attack, cast a spell, whatever, then why is it that Haste doesn't allow you to take an extra step? I know that people houserule that it *does*, but according to the Sage and Rules, it doesn't.
So when you use all of your BAB attacks, it's a FRA, but if you use a single attack, it's just a partial action. So, basicly, 5th level, a fighter's attack is a partial, since he only recieves One attack. But when he reaches 6th, using all of his attacks is a FRA.
Right?
I feel a little dumb, overlooking something this easy. :/
