The text is saying that he can't use a Swift action and then:Cast a SpellMove and pull something from his Bag of HoldingEscape a GrappleUse A Skilletc etc.  He has to attack them.  If he were limited to a single attack action, that would be spelled out there.  As it is, the only references made to actual D&D Game Rules Action Types are:  A Swift action (to replenish) and a Standard Action (if he can't or won't make a melee attack).  A Swift action does not preclude one from making a Full Attack and making "a melee attack" does not preclude one from using the Full Attack action in melee combat.He could not, for instance, use the Swift action to replenish and then:Use a single standard attack to throw a javelin and moveUse a Full Attack to throw 2-4 javelinsWhy?  Because those are ranged attacks and the rules spell out a melee attack.He could, however, use a Swift action and then:Hit a guy in the face with his axe and moveHit a guy in the face with his axe multiple times as part of a Full AttackShow off his axe-i-ness using a Standard Action and move--fje</blockquote>
