[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 5207468, member: 16285"] If the exact moment is irrelevent, then what constitutes "simultaneous" is likewise irrelevent isn't it? The reason I mentioned it was that there have discussions about how far someone moves in relation to arrows flying and other people moving, etc. Some people extrapolate how long does it take to do certain actions and then try to put them into detail of when they actually occur in a combat round - makeing the assumption that the round lasting approx 6 seconds is in fact an absolute measurement and law. The order of action (even within one's own turn) matters but only in the aspect for logic {which really tends to get in the way of the game itself}). But for all essential purposes all actions taken on a character's turn in the initiative order occur simultaneously. Even though you need to draw your weapon before you can make an attack and if you have a +1BAB then you need to move while drawing your weapon, etc. [/QUOTE]
