Swift twice?

[Stormtower]

Thanks Miko! This did seem strange to me at the time, which is why I posted a clear disclaimer. It's nice to have the confirmation, as the rule did seem rather fiddly and contrary to the cleanliness/ease of use that 4E is aiming for.

Yep, you can 'withdraw' by shifting 1 square, then taking a move action.

Also, you could shift as a move action and charge as a standard action

In a similar vein, standing from prone (a move action that no longer provokes OAs in 4E) as a move action in a given round means you can take no further movement... I think.

Disclaimer: I did not view the rules text for 4E on this, and am only paraphrasing what I was told at DDXP tables by a couple different DMs.

It would be great to hear from WotC on this one, since it's a rather fiddly rule.

Can anyone that was at DDXP verify this is true?

Wow. This is so elegant and clean compared to 3E that it takes my breath away. I almost feel like I shouldn't play by these rules, lest they be sullied by actual use.
