Is Sunder a Standard Action or just something you can do any time you melee attack?

[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 2954164, member: 11586"] What is a melee attack action? The only actions I see listed are Standard, Move, Full-Round, Free and "Not an Action". The Standard Action allows you to make a melee attack. A Full-Round Action allows you to make more than one attack (provided you have the means to do so). These can be ranged attacks or melee attacks. And under the Sunder text, there is no reference to this "melee attack action" you are talking about. It simply says "melee attack" which a Standard and Full-Round Action allow. Sunder requires a melee attack, not a "melee attack action". The Full-Attack Action also allows multiple melee attacks (not multiple melee attack actions). If I can Sunder as a melee attack (not melee attack action), then I can do so once as a Standard Action or multiple times as a Full-Round Action, using Full-attack. I don't need to read the table to be able to figure this out on my own. Because no where in the text description does it state Sunder is a melee attack ACTION as you seem to be claiming it is. It is a melee attack, which can be limited to once per round using a Standard Action, or used multiple times using a Full Attack Action. But I've already said this twice above... [/QUOTE]
