Can you always take a 5 ft step?

[Dr. Zoom]

I cannot see any reason not to allow a 5 foot step while prone.

Bah! I don't even allow movement!

Thanks for the responses guys.

Is it clarified anywhere whether you can make a 5' "step" while prone? We've always allowed people to do it (equivalent to the dramatic roll-and-stand of a movie), but I wonder if the rules speak on this action.

IOW, can you move 5', stand up, and attack?

No, you can not 5 foot step while prone, otherwise abilities like Rogue's Crawl and Mokey Moves feat would be usless. And it wouldnt make sense that while, crawling, you can only move 5ft while crawling and provoke attacks of opportunity but can still take 5 foot steps, moving the same amount and not provoking ao.

ooof, what a necro!

aaaanyway, can you take a 5 foot step in PF2? Now that's a question.

It’s called a shift, and it takes one action.

How do you go back so far for a necro like this- is it a result of googling a rule or something? This isn’t the first of its kind this year.

Yes, that is how I've done it in the past.
