[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3822902, member: 1656"] PHB says "When you take the Attack action with a ranged/melee weapon, you may move before and after the attack, provided the total distance moved does not exceed your speed." This is something that made sense in 3E, where the Attack action - a standard action - incorporated attack and movement. But in 3.5, where the Attack action - a standard action - only includes an attack normally, the feat was saying "Your standard action now grants movement up to your speed", which meant you still had a move action left over. SE PHB says "When you take the Attack action with a ranged/melee weapon, you may split your move action before and after the attack...", which means you're required to spend both a move and a standard action to use the feat. This has never appeared in an errata document; they just changed it for the SE printing. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
