[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7570653, member: 6795602"] To offer a point by point knock down of your faulty logic. No it doesn't. You could move 25 ft/s for 1 second. Pause 4 seconds. Move more slowly at 5 ft/s the remainder of the turn. The only rule is that you can only move 30 ft in a turn and not that your maximum speed is 5ft/s. In a turn we don't define the minutia of exactly how we are moving or precisely the second we attacked, just that we moved and attacked. No. The Dash action doubles your movement. All taking the dash action does is double your movement. For the sake of your verisimilitude what that precisely means in game terms is left undefined. It potentially could be as you said, but there's a good number of people whose versimulitude is broken by retroactive actions and so I'm not sure that's actually strong argument for your case. Instead I would tend to interpret what's happening as, you started moving more slowly and then drastically picked up the pace. That's a belief and not a rule. It's just as easy to believe it only affects the movement after you've taken the action. That taking the dash action means you are moving much faster than you previously were before taking it. As noted above, that's really not what it shows. [/QUOTE]
