[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 29901, member: 111"] I certainly did not mean to impy that you may ONLY take a "5-foot step" if you are avoiding an AoO - that would be silly. Besdies, a 5-foot step is: From the glossary. I was merely using the avoiding AoO as one of the primary purposes of a 5-foot step and pointing out page 117 states that you get to avoid a movement AoO if your entire movement for the [b][i]round[/i][/b][i][/i] is only 5'. This, of course, states that if your entire movement is a round is 5', then that equals a 5-foot move that does not count as a move in combat. Your point about the about the intelligence of the PHB writers is actually beside the point - at least for me. For me, the question is "what is the rule?" Not "what should the rule be?" That's the question I, at least, am trying to answer. An I've answered it, using three different quotes from the PHB that deal directly with 5-foot steps. [/QUOTE]
