[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5221345, member: 71571"] The problem here is that you don't actually seem to understand what these game terms mean regardless. So, perhaps you are right about the confusion, but it doesn't help to clear it up when you don't understand what they mean. Specifically: Move means to move. That's all. Any form of movement. It does not matter if you are moving your speed, shifting, flying, or anything, they are all considered a 'move'. Every other form of movement is a subset of move. So powers that say 'when you move' don't care about how you move, only -that- you move. Moving does not even have to occur on your turn, or even as a result of your own action. Move action: You get one a turn. They do not always involve movement, or changing your own or anyone else's position; however this is the most common use of it, hense why it's called a move action. Just think of 'move action' as it's own word, and you'll be okay. Moving as part of another action (many attack powers) is not a move action unless the power says it is. Walk: This is a very specific action; taking a move action to move your speed. This is the most common form of move action taken, and it refers ONLY to taking that specific action. Powers cannot let you walk, there's no abilities that tell you to walk. Walking only means one thing: Take a move action to move your speed. Moving in any other context is not walking, and taking a move action to move your speed is no other action but the 'walk' action. Where the confusion lies here is that some people confuse the walk action with the move action itself. This is not correct. Walk is a -specific- move action. [/QUOTE]
