[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 155056, member: 1276"] One of the biggest problems here is people just can't seem to understand the concept of the actions (Not alot, but a few). Maybe you should think of it a different way. Think of it like this. [B]A standard action is just that. An action. An attack, drinking a potion, etc. Anytime you take a standard action you may move up to your speed. Instead of moving up to you speed you may perform a MEA. It is not part of the standard action, though it must be done either before or after.[/B] End of story... No this=that or this is this+that, etc... Now lets look a some options and see how they fit. -A partial action is a standard action, but you cannot move before or after. -You can as a standard action make a move up to your speed. -Now, A double move is simply a standard action (moving your speed) and then moving you speed. -In a partial action you move your speed, (and since is is a partial cannot move again) -The charge action allows you to move up to your speed and make one attack (because this is a standard action you can also move up to your speed, hence the "able to move up to double your movement") In this special case though, your movement must be in a straight line and must all be before the attack. -Spring attack allow you to make a standard action (but it must be a melee attack, per the feat restriction) and the move you add can be slpit between "before" and "after" your standard action. If you understood how I said that, try different senarios and see if one dosen't fit. IF is does, then this defination can be used for other cases, (like a spring attack charge) (ride by attack) If you like it, we can see how if fits in later (it is the way I run it in my game) [/QUOTE]
