[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 388302, member: 5889"] Okay, first off a partial charge is a partial action, so I think that its preety clear you can simply make a move as a partial action (you can move as your hasted partial action after all). Second, I don't think you would get an AOO from the move. The readied action is a seperate entity from your normal action, its not like haste where you tag it on to the beginning or ending of your turn. Unfortunately, there is no rules quote that I can think of to support either mine or the opposing view, so unless someone can pull up a page number we may each have to take our own opinions on this. The question of whether the person has to complete the attack they started is really the big issue here. Its equivalent to saying, okay I attempt to disarm, provoking an AOO. My opponent takes his AOO to disarm me but he has improved disarm. The attack is successful, and I'm disarmed. Does that mean my initial disarm attempt has been spent? Or can I change it to a standard attack, albeit with just my fist? Or hell, can I just say the attack never happened and do something completely different? Again, this is an issue the ph has never dealt with. Anyone got any faq quotes that might clear this one up? I'm of the personal opinion, that when you declare an action in combat, your stuck with the consequences of that attack. If your opponent is clever and dodges you, I don't want my players saying "well I didn't REALLY attack yet" But that's just my opinion, I could be right:D [/QUOTE]
