[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 21701, member: 284"] Yes, if you take a Standard Action you can use an MEA for the Move portion of the action, and a second MEA for the Partial Action portion of the Standard Action. However, MEA's are specifically limited to one 5' step if you haven't moved any actual distance, as per PHB, page 121. If you take a 5' step on your first MEA, on your second MEA you wouldn't be eligible, because you have moved an actual distance during the round. As far as I can tell, MEA's are the only action specifically limited like this, most likely because MEA's are the only action (that allows a 5' step) that it is possible to do more than once a round without the aid of magic. Normally you can only do a Standard Action or a Full Round Action, with a Standard Action being comprised of a Move/MEA and a Partial Action (which can also be used for a Move/MEA). The Standard Action itself doesn't allow a 5' step, but if you use part of it for an MEA, the MEA allows the 5' step. When you are doing a Partial Action seperate from the Standard Action, it allows a 5' step if you are not otherwise moving. Same thing for a Full Round Action. I believe that you would be allowed to take a second 5' step if you are hasted. [/QUOTE]
