Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hypersmurf" data-source="post: 1392722" data-attributes="member: 1656">You're quoting from the description of the Attack action!Making an attack is a standard action... if you're reading about the Attack action.If you make seven attacks as part of a Full Attack action, you're not making seven standard actions.  The "making an attack is a standard action" isn't found in the Full Attack action description, only the Attack action description.  Those seven attacks constitute one Full Round action - the Full Attack action.It's a melee attack.  Not an action.  An attack is not a standard action.  The Attack action is a standard action.  The line "Making an attack is a standard action" is the description of the standard action, the Attack action.  Not a general description of any attack roll.Yup.  And since Trip, Grapple, and Disarm substitute for "a melee attack, not an action", they can sub in on an AoO.  See that again?  "melee attack, not an action".The major flaw being "Attack = Standard action".  This is only applicable to the Attack action (I think I mentioned that one earlier <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), not to an AoO, Full Attack action or Charge action...-Hyp.</blockquote>
