[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 2841726, member: 111"] ROFL. "Move" itself is a Move Action. Saying Crawl is a Move Action says nothing. Saying Crawl is a Move Action OTHER than a Move would be saying something, but, it is not - it is indeed a Move, as it is defined as one. I'll prove it: Here's the section layout in the SRD. Note that "Move" is merely one of the kinds of Move Actions and that Crawl is listed under "Move:" [color=yellow][b]Actions In Combat...[/b] [b][i]Action Types...[/i][/b][i][/i] There are six types of actions: standard actions, move actions, full-round actions, free actions, swift actions, and immediate actions. [b][i]Move Action[/i][/b][i][/i] A move action allows you to move your speed or perform an action that takes a similar amount of time. See Table: Move Actions. . . . [b]Move Actions[/b]... [b][i]Move[/i][/b][i][/i] The simplest move action is moving your speed... [u]Accelerated Climbing[/u] You can climb one-half ... [u]Crawling[/u] You can crawl 5 feet as a move action... [b][i]Draw or Sheathe a Weapon[/i][/b][i][/i] [b][i]Ready or Loose a Shield[/i][/b][i][/i] [b][i]Manipulate an Item[/i][/b][i][/i] [b][i]Direct or Redirect a Spell[/i][/b][i][/i] [b][i]Stand Up[/i][/b][i][/i] [b][i]Mount/Dismount a Steed[/i][/b][i][/i] [u]End SRD Info[/u][/color] Note that a Move is a type of move Action. Crawl is listed under the Move section of Move Actions. Crawl is, therefore, a Move, which is, in turn, a "Move Action." Further, (here's a new twist), "A move action allows you to move your speed or perform an action that takes a similar amount of time." Since crawling is a "move" (by placement under the "Move" move action) and since you either "move your speed" or "perform an action that takes...," the 5 feet you move MUST be your speed by the way this all ties together. All right, that may be a bit of a stretch for some of you, but it does all tie together logically in a nice tight little package. [/QUOTE]
