And per that the PHB is the definitive source for combat rules all others, unless otherwise specifically stated (like mentioning it changes the rule like Complete Arcane and Swift and Immediate actions), are overruled by this.At least with Immediate and Swift actions they specifically stated they were new and that things like Feather Fall were now Immediate actions.Per the PHB (better defintion than the SRD) {I need to check the later printing to make sure they didn't change it}:WotC has gone to great lengths to define terms a specific way for game use and it is extremely poor editing when they don't catch these things on a repeated basis. All it would have taken was a "redefinition" but that has not happened yet so the PHB definition is supposed to take precedent and thus render all of these other "new" feat and ability benefits moot {real bad ruling but technically correct}. Whereas what the "proper" thing to do would have been to insert that the character is denied his Dex bonus to AC and can't make AoO {which appears to be what they had meant only they got lazy when writing}.</blockquote>
