[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2831671, member: 2011"] For the feat to override the general rule, it would have to explicitly say so. For example: "This feat allows you to take a 5' step, even if you have already taken a 5' step this round." If it does not state that it overrides the general rule, it does not. It applies with all of the general rules and all 5' step rules apply with the exception of any it does explicitly override. The only 5' step rule that this feat overrides is that of taking a 5' step when it is not your turn. You can take this 5' step when it is not your turn. However, all other 5' step rules still apply. Going back to Patryn's original statement: This statement is false because the feat does not explicitly state that it overrides this general rule with a phrase like: "This feat allows you to take a 5' step, even if you have already moved this round." In other words, for it to override another rule, it has to explicitly state that it does. This feat only explicitly states that it overrides one of the 5' step rules: that of taking a 5' step only on your turn. [/QUOTE]
