Message: <blockquote data-quote="evilbob" data-source="post: 2993986" data-attributes="member: 9789">Ah, ok, I see now.  And to me, this question is more along the lines of, "why does withdrawing work the way it works?"  I mean, some guy can move all over the room without issue if he "withdraws," but if he walks over to a door to open it, he got hit?  That's the part that makes no sense; the jumping during this crazy extended "free" movement is really an ancillary argument.Ok, I will try to explain this again:- Why do you have a listed speed as a medium creature of 30 feet?  This serves the purpose of allowing you to know how much movement you have to spend each turn.  You have a total amount of movement based on your speed.  You can jump during movement (whether or not this movement can only be done during a move action is not actually what I am trying to prove here).- Moving is not movement, although you do move when you use/spend/take your movement (which is again, based on your speed).  Falling is moving, being pushed is moving, 5' steps are moving, but they are not movement granted based on your speed.Jumping cannot be done when you are not "spending" the movement you are granted by your speed (whether this only happens during a move action or not).  I freely admit I made up the phrase "spending movement," but it was only to show the difference between the bolded and underlined meanings given above.</blockquote>
