[QUOTE="p_johnston, post: 9258128, member: 7016849"] I did manage to track down which particular line likely led me to thinking that way. "On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed and take one action. You decide whether to move first or take your action first" seems to indicate to me that it's intended that you complete your action before doing other things. But again, this is mostly pedantic argument because it is a gray area. I also think its simply more likely that the designers simply never considered the rules application of taking another action mid action because 99% of the time it will never come up. You never have to worry about "can someone take another action mid fireball?" because fireball isn't broken up into discrete parts. Other then Multi-attack and a few odd spells like chain lightning most actions don't have multiple steps to resolve them where in someone could do something else. P.S. as a related question (and this isn't meant as some kind of gotcha Im just genuinely interested in what your ruling would be based on your previous posts) what would you say if someone wanted to action surge mid chain lightning? After the initial hit but before the secondary bolts. [/QUOTE]
