[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 147711, member: 474"] First, I'll break your argument down into: 1. Standard action = MEA + partial action 2. Standard action = MEA + MEA Therefore, 3. MEA + partial action = MEA + MEA 4. Partial action = MEA #1 is wrong for two reasons. First, the normal action one takes (e.g. atacking) is not a partial action, though a partial action could be used to make that same action in most cases. (This is a nitpicking point, but had to be made by someone.) Second, equality works both ways - and this doesn't. A character can't choose to recombine a partial action and a MEA to make a standard action (if [i]hasted[/i] and the standard action has already been taken, less the move, for example). #2 is incorrect for the same reason: equality is a bidirectional operator. The rules do not allow characters to substitute two MEAs for a standard action. #3 is a falacy, as its premeses are flawed. #4 is also a falacy, as its premese is flawed. Here are the correct relationships: Standard action -> MEA + MEA Partial action -> MEA and in a loose sense: Standard action -> partial action + MEA All of these operators are unidirectional.
