[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 822450, member: 10131"] I believe yes, you can do the above... stand up, take a 5' step towards someone, and attack... but that's the maximum. SO.... take the following scenario. You're 20 feet away from an opponent with a Guisarme (10' reach weapon that can be used to make trip attacks) You move towards him, and at 15' away, he gets an attack of opportunity on you as you try to get next to him. He hits, does 10 points of damage, and trips you with the Knockdown feat. At this point, you've already moved 15', which is your move action. Now, you need to stand up, which is a Move Equivalent action. At this point, you've effectively double-moved for this turn, meaning that you can't take a 5' step and attack. To make matters EVEN BETTER... when the opponent's turn comes up, you're standing 10' away from him in range of his Guisarme. He full attacks you, knocks you down again, and then steps back 5'. If you want to get to attack him next turn, you're going to need to stand up AGAIN, and if you move against him, you're going to take ANOTHER AoO. [/QUOTE]
