Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charlaquin" data-source="post: 9802353" data-attributes="member: 6779196">Mostly it’s just a weird quirk of how the Dash action is written - doubling your movement instead of allowing you to move up to your speed. Obviously it’s like this so that you can break that movement up, using part of it before your action and part of it after, instead of having it all be in one go. But, it does lead to features that allow off-turn movement needing to be written slightly awkwardly.The thing about this mistake is, while the intent is obvious, it’s notable that this is the first time this mistake has been made. Up until now, all off-turn movement features have been written like Ready. This isn’t a problem for the reader, but it is potentially a sign that some institutional knowledge of how to word 5e rules has been lost within WotC’s design team. And that’s a little bit worrying. It suggests that the experienced writers and/or editors who knew this stuff are gone, which may portend a shift in the writing quality due to their absence.</blockquote>
