[QUOTE="Dr_Sage, post: 4905633, member: 36185"] I love a good challenge!;) Well, keeping respect for your conditions, even underestanding that DnD is not a simulation, lets go. Lets compare apples to apples: Regarding the "move a short distance part": try to lay down, them stand up and do something simple like grabbling a ball trown at you. Them try to move by walking a short distance. If you look carefully I will notice that stand up and be ready for some action takes roundly the same time as walking a short distance. Regarding the attack part: black box here. Frankly an attack involves too much for us to compare here, its a complete abstraction, including feints and the like, not necessary 1 mighty swing. And by the way lets do the other way around: if you allow this "partial charge" you will have to accept that you will aways allow it, and suddenly powers that allow some movement before the attack are complete crap. Players could ask: "why my deft strike gives me just 2 squeres, if I can move 1 and attack why I stand up? I should realistically move at least 4 squares etc etc etc." [/QUOTE]
