[QUOTE="Junkheap, post: 24303, member: 768"] I don't see a problem here at all with what the FAQ says. As far as i can see and as far as we play right now, you get only 1 5 foot movement for his entire round, not just that action,even if you are hasted. I think it is already a powerfull spell for what it is and with allowing another 5 foot step would just be way too unbalancing. If you do allow the second 5 foot step i would make the second move as the AOO. The second move is what provoked it. I can just forsee cleric/mages with haste and the cleric spell from MOF that give you another partial action(Don't remember the name). So 2 extra partial actions!! a total move of 15 feet. A third level spell should not be as powerfull as to allow a mage to basically take 2 5 foot steps. Another sceanerio is when a fighter fights his way to a mage and is in front of his face. Mage takes his partial action to step 5 foot back and casts. Not his standard action steps back again 5 feet and casts again. Now the fighter with multiple attacks is screwed because he has to setp up 10 feet. No way, its a 3rd level spell for god sakes. Sorry, its just the way i feel. [/QUOTE]
