Then the speech could trigger an action, which could be a 5' step. However the phb p144, says dms may not allow character speech outside their turn to warn other characters(so that they can react.)And a 5' step , although not a action, still only takes place in your round (when you get to act)To use your example.Player two could shout out, and alert other characters. But not take a 5' step, because its not his action. Player twos shouting may result on other characters actions impacting on the monster. But player 2 shouldn't act before the monster unless he had a readied action, or rolled higher intitive.</blockquote>
