[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 21455, member: 111"] The answer lies wihtint what you can do within a [b][i]round[/i][/b][i][/i], as opposed to what you can do [b][i]combined with an action[/i][/b][i][/i]. So, yes, you can full attack and take a 5' step. And, yes, if you take only a partial action, you can take a partial attack and move 5'. But what about hasted? FIrst, the rule say that "typically" you can take a 5-foot step with a partial action. I submit that a hasted action is not a "typical" scenario, so that this does not somehow create a new exception to the 5' move per round. I am reasonably certain that you'll find that the PHB specifies a 5'-step as a minor adjustment in position that is a freebie once per round if you do no other movement. Since it is per round, haste does not change what is allowed. All this discussion of which actions "allow" a 5'-step will take you down the wrong path - try thinking of it as a list of actions that do not, by themselves, [b][i]disallow[/i][/b][i][/i] a 5'-step. Thus, in the example presented, you are drinkning a potion druing your partial action. this does not disallow you taking a 5'-step this round. You also wish to do a full-attack during your regular action. This also does not disallow a 5'-step in this round. Thus, even with both actions, you are still allowed to take a 5' step this round. But only one. Does this help? [/QUOTE]
