Examples include casting as spell or making a single attack. Take a special standard action, which is "special" and requires reading the action carefully to see what you can do. (The SRD places "Charge" as a Full-Round Action, which is effectively what it is since you MUST move and can do nothing else). Example include a Charge and a Double Move (someone else said the Double Move was a special standard action in the PHB - in the SRD it is a Full-Round Action, which makes sense since you can do nothing else).Take a Full-Round Action, which allows for no other move. Examples include Metamagic'd Spontaneous Spell, Full Attack, and, per the SRD, Charge and Double Move Any time you can make a move, you may substitute a Move-Equivalent Action. You may take a Partial Action only if you are Slowed, Hasted, Ready an Action, or have some sort of other circumstance that specifically grants you a partial action. You don't move and take an action with a Partial Action. (Partial Charge is a special case that let's you move AND attack.) Examples of Partial Actions include a Casting a Spell and a Single Attack. You may start a Full-Round Action with a Partial Action, and finish it with your next action (using either a Partial Action or a Standard Action) If you make no other move in the round, you make take a 5-foot step.There - now I know I haven't covered every possible scenario, it's a summary of what you can do in a round.Is this clear?</blockquote>
