[QUOTE="Amal Shukup, post: 1633716, member: 6291"] 'Regular Move' is a defined term? I'm not saying that it's not a fairly intuitive assumption. Quite possibly correct. That conclusion is arguably reinforced by the fact that this was clearly limited this way in 3.0. Plain ol' movement IS referred to as the 'simplest move action', and it is further differentiated as the only (I believe) kind of action you cannot combine with a 5' step. I find the QuickDraw description is somewhat more compelling - it uses the term 'as part of Movement' rather than 'as part of a Move Action'... But I think THAT raises just as many problems than the other interpretation - as it implies that you could draw your weapon as part of a Charge, a Withdraw or while Running. All of which seem LESS reasonable (to me) than drawing a weapon while dismounting from a horse, or after sheathing another weapon... It SEEMS fine in terms of balance: The BIG problem - getting a free draw PLUS a Full Attack Action doesn't arise without the QuickDraw Feat... It was starting to make sense to me too... In fact I thought it was the whole point of combining Move with Move Equivalent Actions. For if you are correct, then they remain, in practice if not name, different 'types' of Action... Alas.
