Full discipline

[unan oranis]

How does the full discipline for the monk work?

Do you get to use the move action power AND the standard action power?

Or do you choose one of them?

I get that you can't use power A's move ability and then power B's standard action ability...

when you use a Full Discipline power, you can use both the move and the standard actions for that power, or either one. You can only use one Full Discipline power per turn unless you spend an action point, that action can then be a different Full Discipline.

 

[On Puget Sound]

On your turn, if you choose a full discipline power your 3 actions (standard, move, minor) may include:

STANDARD: the standard action of the full discipline power, or any other non-full-discipline standard action including a basic attack or a non-FD attack power,
AND
MOVE: the move action described in the FD power, or any other non-FD move action including a normal move, a shift, or a move action power that is not FD
AND
MINOR: any minor action.

so if you really need to shift 2 squares, or jump really far, you can do so without necessarily using the associated attack if you have a different standard action you want to do. This will be especially important for hybrid monks, which don't yet exist.

As On Pudget Sound said. In addition, if you choose to use an at-will Full Discipline, you might turn your standard action into a move action to use the power's move part twice.

This is not possible for encounter Full Disciplines, because both parts are considered encounter powers. (With the further limitation that you have to use them during the same turn or waste some part of the pair.)

hmmm food for thought; thanks!

So a multi-classed character might do the move action power in a full discipline, but then use, say a rogue power or something after - just not another full discipline.

Interesting point about the encounter power version 1of3...

Whew gots to get all this down before next session - one of my players had his character split from the party for RP reasons and is bringing in a monk instead.

Doesn't even need to be a multiclass, a monk can use a non-fd power as the attack on the same turn he used an fd to move.
