[QUOTE="AGGEMAM, post: 154563, member: 736"] Just to make a few thing clear. A standard action is an attack action plus a move. An attack action does not grant a move, the standard action does. If you decide not to attack you are not using the standard action. The attack action (please note: THE, and not the plural version of the word action) described by spring attack is described under the heading 'Attack' and only entails the subsets of that. Which is Melee Attack, Ranged Attack, and Unarmed Attack. Since Spring Attack defines 'with a melee weapon' it can only be used with Melee Attack and Unarmed Attack. By definition, Spring Attack cannot be used with anything else than [b]the[/b] attack action, which also excludes the charge action and the full-attack action. I do know that the Sage (under the influence of a Feeblemind spell) adviced that Spring Attack could be used with the Charge action. However for some reason this advice has never made the D&D FAQ (or the errata), at least not in their current versions. Isn't that strange? ;) The Sage's advice (on this subject) has never will probably never have any base in official D&D rules. [/QUOTE]
