[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1337301, member: 1656"] I wouldn't call that "use-activated", to be honest. The "subsumed in its use" provision is for things like a Flaming Burst sword, or Eyes of the Eagle. If you look at something through the Eyes, you get a bonus. If you hit something with the sword, it Bursts. You don't need to actually [i]do[/i] anything to make that happen - it happens as a part of what you were doing anyway. As opposed to the Cube, where you have to consciously decide to press a face. I would have no hesitation in saying "standard action to press a face". As for more than one face at a time... while it's not explicitly stated, to me it looks like only one. You don't press an active face a second time to deactivate it - there's a separate button. So it seems that the cube has six states, one of which is "off". If you were allowed multiple active faces, it would seem that you should be able to go from 1&2 to 1, by deactivating 2. But the only way to deactivate a face is to hit face 6... which would deactivate [i]all[/i] faces. So I'd be inclined to say "only one at a time". -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
