[QUOTE="mkletch, post: 397443, member: 3396"] You have to announce you actions. Sometimes you have flexibility, like choosing an attack or full attack, and where/if you place you 5' step. But spring attack is an action that includes movement and an attack. If he doesn't declare, and he moves through a threatened area, AoO. Tough crackers. If he wants to move through any threatened area, he must declare spring attack before doing so, and which opponent is his target. Not also that psring attack does not stop a readied action. If he pulls this crap all the time, the 'bad guys' can just ready an action and whack him anyway. Overuse of spring attack is a cheese, albeit a legal cheese. Note also that the effects of a spring attack are contained within a particular action, and do not extend to a haste partial action. Check Monte Cook's site for how he nerfed spring attack. In short, you must move before and after the attack, and thee is a minimum distance for each. I don't like people using spring attack to simply run circles around an opponent; it's just silly. -Fletch! [/QUOTE]
