[QUOTE="comrade raoul, post: 250126, member: 554"] Suppose I'm a hasted 11th-level fighter. I've got the Spring Attack feat and am wielding a greatsword. Would it be permissible to allow me to: a) Treat my extra partial action as a normal move action, and, with Spring Attack, move towards my opponent, smack it three times with my sword as a full attack, and with my remaining amount of partial movement, move away according to Spring Attack? b) As a standard action, move towards my opponent and hit him once with my greatsword, using my extra partial action to attack him again before moving away (I'd use this version, perhaps, against high-AC opponents, preferring two attacks at my best bonus to one at my best and two more at -5 and -10, respectively). I know, as written, [i]haste[/i] prevents me from doing either of these things. The extra partial action must be either before or after my action -- not split on either side of my action (as with option "a") or in the middle of my action (as with "b"). But I think both "a" and "b" are very much in the spirit of [i]haste[/i] and Spring Attack, and there are good reasons not to go by the letter of the rules when considering [i]haste[/i] in conjunction with certain feats (like using [i]haste[/i] with Expertise, taking your extra partial action after your normal action, taking the full -5 Expertise penalty with it, and getting a +5 AC bonus without getting the Expertise penalty on your normall full attack).
