[QUOTE="tburdett, post: 492373, member: 4714"] All of you who are saying "This is how it works!" need to re-read page 117 without extrapolating or rationalizing. **At any time during your turn if your first move is only 5', you have to declare whether or not this is going to be your only move for the turn. If you so declare, it does not count as a move action, it does not draw attacks of opportunity, and you cannot move for the rest of the turn. If you do not declare that this is your only move for the turn, it counts as a move action, you may draw attacks of opportunity and may move later in the turn (following all the normal rules) which also may draw attacks of opportunity.** THIS IS NOT IN THE RULE BOOK. THIS IS A HOUSE RULE. **NO. If you take a "5-foot step," then that's ALL the movement you get to do. Period.** THIS IS NOT IN THE RULE BOOK. THIS IS A HOUSE RULE. **There is actually no such thing as a 5-ft. step. All it really is moving 5 ft. and ONLY 5 ft. in a single round.

Anything not contained within the rule book is a house rule. 90% of what you guys are presenting are simply that, house rules. I'm not saying that the rule is perfect, or even well written, but it is the rule. In this case, the rule concerning 5' moves and attacks of opportunity should probably have incorporated one of the house rules above to prevent the logical inconsistancies that can, and do, happen. I play with the rule as written to give the players the flexibility that the designers intended. If they move 5', make an attack, and then (using haste) move again, they suffer every attack of opportunity, retroactively if necessary, that they trigger. [/QUOTE]
