[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 7094319, member: 60210"] So the argument is that breaking up your movement implies that your movement has stopped? I like to break up my day sometimes by going for a walk. Does that suggest my day has stopped? And if you forgive a mathy example, I can break up a function f(x) into regions where it is positive and regions where it is negative, without implying any kind of discontinuity to the function. So I'll still claim it is ambiguous. It didn't have to be. Rather than: "You can break up your movement on your turn, using some of your speed before and after your action," they could have said (and JC could anytime say) something like: "You can stop moving at any point to take your action, and then resume moving afterwards." Personally I think they didn't do that because they don't want a hard rule; sometimes it probably does make sense to let a character take an action while in motion. The example of attacking mid-jump is a good one. [/QUOTE]
