A: Well, that's easy. The Epic feat you are referring too was made with the 3.0 version of the rules. The 3.5 version of whirlwind attack does not allow you to move between attacks. Q: This is in the 3.5 SRD, is there and Errata I should be looking at?A: Well, that feat is incorrect then, at least the part that refers to what you can normally do with whirlwind attack. There is no errata for it yet, but just ignore the part that says "and the character can take a 5-foot step between any two of the attacks" as thisinformation is incorrect.This is the my first experience with Custserv saying that the RAW is wrong.  Has anyone else been told that the rules were in error when no errata was printed for them?</blockquote>
