[QUOTE="Katerek, post: 281389, member: 5193"] Wow. I didn't think this would be so hottly debated. Now I will clarify my intent, and thanks by the way for all of the responses, it has been greatly appreciated. Here is what was happening in my game. My PC's, two or three of which have made boots of speed, were/are using their extra partial to move into base to base combat. Then, they were taking a full attack action. They were insistent that this was covered by spring attack, and that if the creature had reach, they were not proviking AoO. I nixed that. THEN They were breaking up the partial action from the Boots of Speed, basically dividing the increments in half. Then they would take a full attack action, and then complete their hasted move to get out with Spring Attack. It took me some time to catch on to what they were doing. I have eight players and rund heavy combats with multiple detailed NPC's, I was a tad distracted. Now, I am almost certain that there is no way to break up the movement granted from a hasted action so as to make a full attack action in the middle. When I called them on it on Sunday and made them quit, they got mad because that is the way it had always been done. Whatever. My main goal is to find a hard fast rule so that we can stick by it. I told them that if they could do that, then by golly monsters and NPC's could too. Then they decided that it would be best if I could find a ruling. HELP! [/QUOTE]
