[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7770958, member: 1465"] That's true. Also, there is no 'general rule' that actions are [I]divisible[/I]. So pick one and use it. Neither. I would say that you are currently taking the action, in the middle of its completion, so you can neither use a bonus action or another action. You can however "interact with an object", communicate, or use any part of your movement, because all these 3 are explicitly allowed to be done [I]during [/I]an action / freely / between multiple attacks of the same action, respectively. I think this is not a real problem, but rather a fabricated one. But if you care so much about the RAW, I would note that you can still say that "Dash" as an action happens (and is completed) when you take it, and this still doesn't mean in any way that you have to move 30ft immediately, because the action itself explicitly says those 30ft are added to your overall movement distance in your turn, it doesn't say that Dash is equivalent to moving 30ft. The same thing happens for Disengage, Dodge, Help and Ready. You can still go with the RAW and say their action is taken and completed, but the benefits occur later (for some of those even past the end of your turn, and into next round!) because that's what their specific text says.
