[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2140401, member: 23094"] They haven't really, though. What they have done is add new *actions* which fit within the existing action types (and, by the by, added a couple new action types as well). The hierarchy looks like this: [list=1] [*]Standard Action [list=a] [*]Attack (melee) [*]Attack (ranged) [*]Attack (unarmed) [*]Activate a magic item other than a potion or oil [*]Aid another [*]Bull rush [*]Cast a spell (1 standard action casting time) [*]Concentrate to maintain an active spell [*]Dismiss a spell [*]Draw a hidden weapon (see Sleight of Hand skill) [*]Drink a potion or apply an oil [*]Escape a grapple [*]Feint [*]Light a torch with a tindertwig [*]Lower spell resistance [*]Make a dying friend stable (see Heal skill) [*]Overrun [*]Read a scroll [*]Ready (triggers a standard action) [*]Sunder a weapon (attack) [*]Sunder an object (attack) [*]Total defense [*]Turn or rebuke undead [*]Use extraordinary ability [*]Use skill that takes 1 action [*]Use spell-like ability [*]Use supernatural ability [*][b]Manyshot[/b] [/list] [*]Move Action [list=a] [*]Move [*]Control a frightened mount [*]Direct or redirect an active spell [*]Draw a weapon [*][b]Feint with Improved Feint[/b] [*]Load a hand crossbow or light crossbow [*]Open or close a door [*]Mount a horse or dismount [*]Move a heavy object [*]Pick up an item [*]Sheathe a weapon [*]Stand up from prone [*]Ready or loose a shield4 [*]Retrieve a stored item[/list] [*]Full-round Action [list=a] [*]Charge [*]Deliver coup de grace [*]Escape from a net [*]Extinguish flames [*]Full attack [*]Light a torch [*]Load a heavy or repeating crossbow [*]Lock or unlock weapon in locked gauntlet [*]Prepare to throw splash weapon [*]Run [*]Use skill that takes 1 round [*]Use touch spell on up to six friends [*]Withdraw5[/list] [*]Free Action [list=a] [*]Cease concentration on a spell [*]Drop an item [*]Drop to the floor [*]Prepare spell components to cast a spell6 [*]Speak [*][b]Stand from prone with a DC 35 Tumble check[/b] [*][b]Reload a light crossbow with Rapid Reload[/b][/list] [*]Swift Action [list=a] [*]Cast a quickened spell [*]Cast any spell with a casting time of Swift Action [/list] [*]Immediate Action [list=a] [*]Cast Featherfall [*]Cast any sp[ell with a casting time of Immediate Action[/list] [/list] Manyshot is its own standard action. Shot on the Run works with the Attack action, which is also a standard action. [/QUOTE]
