[QUOTE="Gromm, post: 206466, member: 2245"] Basically a partial action is just like a standard action only there are a few other things you can do only in a partial action (like a partial run/charge). For all intents and purposes a partial action is a standard action. You can move, cast a spell, attack once, or whatever. Sometimes its best to think of a round as having a Move and a "Standard Action"(though acccording to the PHB the whole round is a standard action). You can also use a Full Round Action, but then you can only take a 5' step to move. The most common situation for a partial action is haste. Heres a example of how it might work: Round1: Move (or Move Equivalent-aka ME) Standard action (cast haste) Partial action (from Haste)- cast some other spell or attack or move Round2+:Move(or ME) and Standard action OR Full round action (ie Full Attack, Metamagicked spell for Sorcerors,etc) AND Partial Action (another attack, spell, or move) Hope that made some sense.
