[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2714025, member: 2011"] I did not say it had to be this. I said "it can be argued". It can especially be argued that it is a move action (instead of free or standard or full) since other non-manipulative of items actions which involve a semblance of movement but do not actually result in movement are move actions (e.g. standing from prone, mount/dismount). And, dismount allows you to go from a sitting position to a standing position without provoking an AoO. Granted, it is sitting on a horse as opposed to the ground, but there are similar movement rules. There is more precedence for it being a move action than any other type of action and yes, this can legitimately be argued using the similar rule rule. Which still says nothing about what standing from a kneeling position does. Crawling does have an implication. An implication that you turn your back on a foe while crawling away. Withdraw also has an implication. Getting away from your opponent without lowering your guard in any way. So, why does Crawl take precedence over Withdraw when Prone? Or Restricted Withdraw for that matter? [/QUOTE]
