[QUOTE="Virago, post: 26841, member: 2045"] Deja vu. One very important facet of "segregating" actions like what Karinsdad is suggesting comes up with the issue of Ready actions. Is the partial action prepared by a Ready segregated from the standard action which you took to Ready it? After all, it's a full-fledged partial action, just like the one you receive with [i]haste[/i]. If you rule that the partial readied action is not "part of" your turn with respect to the various rules, then you are allowing (move+ready, ... , attack + 5' step). Which [b]really[/b] changes the dynamics of casting spells in combat, and really makes doing a normal attack without a Ready sort of pointless if your DM allows triggers such as "I attack when he moves or attacks." This also prevents double-moves to escape combat. So, to run a "segregated action" you have to decide how you're going to treat Readied actions; it's more important than balancing [i]haste[/i].
