[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7352745, member: 6919838"] So the organizational parsing gets even more selective. By "any other context" you seem to be meaning "referenced in another chapter" of sub-section, is that right? Or is the requirement that you have to have an explicit statement of "it can be done outside of combat" elsewhere if it is listed in the "actions in combat" "vault of not doing"? is there anything in the rules that says this is how they did their organization - throwing a whole bunch of things under a section and only meaning for two of them to be considered "locked in combat only" and you are to divine this by reading thru the rest of the book to search for a reference elsewhere and only using "i didn't find other references" as the tell for "this one bit here is combat only"? from any RAW, RAI or narrative sense - what is gained by imagining the proper reply to "my character rolls and dodges" should be "you cannot do that because you are not in combat. your character cannot roll around and duck and weave without first someone there being hostile and wanting to hit you or some of your allies or you wanting to hit them."??? Last time i looked, there was not an explicit "spells can be cast out of combat" reference in the spell casting section. is the fact that they chose to organize spellcasting in its own chapter to be taken as "that means its out of combat too."??? What if the character carried a bag of rats and declared he was going to fight the rats... is that a combat and so he can now dodge or ready an action or cast a spell or draw a sword even if it is not against the rats per se?
