[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 6679097, member: 6787503"] On your turn you only have one move, which is what the rules refer to as "your move". It is defined here as moving "a distance up to your speed". That doesn't mean, however, that moving [I]any[/I] distance less than your speed counts as your move, unless that's all the movement you take on your turn. Move and movement are used interchangeably to refer to the movement portion of your turn. That's what your move is. It's like chess. We do not say the knight has two moves because it moves two squares in one direction, turns 90 degrees, and then moves another square. That's its move. No matter how many modes of movement you are using you don't end up with more than one move. They are each a "part of your move". Breaking up your movement is breaking up your move. You can see by the title of this section that your move is the thing that is being broken up. When it is, it is not broken up into more moves. It is broken up into [I]parts[/I] of your move. If running, then jumping, then swimming results in only one move, then surely walking 30 feet while taking an action is still only one move. Nowhere in these rules does it say that by breaking up your movement you are ending up with more than one move. The rules only ever talk about one move, and that's the movement you can take on your turn. [/QUOTE]
