[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 4377704, member: 9026"] re: surprise round - Both 3.0 and 3.5 were 'one action during the surprise round', that hasn't changed in 4e. Re: Charging : This HAS changed, being only a standard action now (And only allowing you to move your movement rate, instead of double it, as well as only giving a +1 attack bonus, and no ac penalty). Although... in both 3.0 AND 3.5 there was a provision for charging during the surprise round. a 'partial charge' was allowed for: *See the last paragraph under 'movement during a charge', pages 154-155 PHB 3.5 (reprinted in part): "If you are able to take only a standard or move action on your turn, you can still charge but are only allowed to move up to your speed (instead of up to double your speed). * (Hmm, sounds familiar. ;) It's my guess they just took out the partial part and decided to go with this in its entirety for the 4e charge.)
