[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 155212, member: 111"] It's really not all that hard. In a round you may (without regard for 5-foot moves): Take a standard action, which includes a move. Examples include casting as spell or making a single attack. Take a special standard action, which is "special" and requires reading the action carefully to see what you can do. (The SRD places "Charge" as a Full-Round Action, which is effectively what it is since you MUST move and can do nothing else). Example include a Charge and a Double Move (Someone else said this, I never went back and checked). Take a Full-Round Action, which allows for no move. Examples include a Metamagic'd Spontaneous Spell and a Full Attack Any time you can make a move, you may substitute a Move-Equivalent Action. You may take a Partial Action only if you are Slowed, Hasted, Ready an Action, or have some sort of other circumstance that specifically grants you a partial action. You don't move And take an action with a Partial Action. (Charge is a special case that let's you move AND attack.) Examples of Partial Actions include a Casting a Spell and a Single Attack. You may start a Full-Round Action with a Partial Action, and Finish it with your next action (either a Partial Action or a Standard Action) I probably did not cover quite everything in there, but you see how simple this can be. Over-analyzing this will only produce confusion. [/QUOTE]
