[QUOTE="Demogorge, post: 38950, member: 1036"] [b]Monks anyone?[/b] 18th level monk with the Snatch Arrows feat. Here is a character who can make 6 well-placed unarmed attacks doing huge (d20) damage, snatch spears out of midair and throw them back instantaneously, and move at 90 ft. per round. To a low level character this guy is moving 3 times faster than anyone else with BOTH hands and feet (attacks & speed), and is obviously a powerful and expert fighter. Yet he is still restricted to the 5' step. For whatever reason, the 5' step is sacred. Even a 20th level character can't change it. Heck a hypothetical 40th level character is still restricted to it.

[HILARITY] Upon seeing this the aforementioned monk would leave his monastic order in search of a place where he can learn how to pull off moves like that. On the way there he is tripped several times by mischevious young hasted wizards, who do not suffer AoOs because they're "moving too fast".[/HILARITY] BTW, I think it's fine to let them move the 2 5' steps, but I think they should suffer AoOs, it just seems fair.
