[QUOTE="0-hr, post: 448819, member: 4734"] :confused: I know the rules fairly well, and that bit makes no sense to me at all. Maybe I'm just reading it sideways or something... Anyhow, here's my attempt at a summary of the rules as I understand them: In a round, you can do one standard action and move your speed if you wish. Instead of moving, you can do a move equivalent action instead. You can also do a move (or equivalent) in place of your standard action, thus allowing you to move twice your speed in one round (or do a pair of move equivalent actions) if you do nothing else. A partial action is like a standard action without a move (or equivalent) tacked on. You only take these when forced too (like when you are surprised, slowed, or hasted). You cannot do them voluntarily. You can do as many Free Actions and Not-An-Actions as your DM will allow. Free Actions can still only be done on your turn however. A Full Round Action is a Standard Action that takes so long that you cannot do a move (or equivalent) at the same time. [/QUOTE]
