5 foot step and readied actions.

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

Yes, I understand the "every other round" limitation.

Not sure what you mean there.

During a Full Attack action, can anyone point me to the rule that says you can make a 5 Foot during your action?

... The basic full attack action rules?

The only movement you can take during a full attack is a 5-foot step. You may take the step before, after, or between your attacks.

I've always played that declaring your action means that -is what you will do-, regardless of circumstance,

Sure - except when otherwise noted, such as for the Full Attack action.

except in the occasion where one of your attacks fells an opponent (so that you can further attack).

This isn't a requirement of anything.

This rule states that you can change your decision after your first attack, but not after any iterative attacks. Does this mean that you cannot make a TWF off hand attack and then change your action?

I have always interpreted the Full Attack rules on changing your mind to also include such things, but it's not explicitly clear. So, if you make your first normal attack, and then make you first off-hand attack, you're stuck with the Full Attack action.

Similarly, does this mean that you cannot change opponents after your first attack, regardless of it's status (living, dead, prone, etc)?

You can change the target of your attacks in a full attack at any time, regardless of the status of your opponent. You can start off planning to attack the guy in front of you three times, but change your mind and swing at someone else before any of the attacks.

This can only be performed every other round, since you lose the second round's initiative to the person you ready against.

For some reason, I completely read over that without absorbing a word prior to this moment.

Sure - except when otherwise noted, such as for the Full Attack action.

Being unaware of the 5 Foot Step rules regarding the situation prior to this moment solves this and the next issue.

It's good to have a second opinion on this, even if it just agrees with my previous one.

Thanks for the clarification.

Ah. I see what you mean, there.

Heh. I'd meant to add a smiley there and forgot to; now that you've quoted it, it's too late. I hope you took my comment in the spirit it was offered! We all miss things ... from time to time.

Thanks for the clarification.

No problem! Glad to help. (Didn't forget this one.)

I did. All discussion on this board is friendly banter, and I consider it as such.

You must spread some EXP around before awarding some to this user again.
I wonder when this message finally goes away, I've spread around quite a bit since the last time I gave any to you.
Shouldn't there be a time limit on these things? I was deployed and thereby unable to access the site for quite a while.

 

[Empirate]

Not a time limit, but you have to give XP to 10 different people before XPing the same guy again, IIRC.

Thanks for the intel.

Too bad, but I guess it makes sense. (XP for you)

It re-enforces my standard "giving XP to people I don't care about because someone else can't" thing.
