[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 111798, member: 1560"] Not only did I not forget that, but I showed that it is not relevant to the question of a 5-foot step. Yes, when using the full attack action, you can choose to WWA. Yep. And yes you can take a 5-foot step before, during or after a full attack action. But nowhere does it say that you can take the 5-foot step during the WWA. You can, however, still take the 5-foot step before during or after your full attack action. That would be before, during or after your WWA and something else (like the off-hand attacks). Tha', BTW, is why I mentioned it in the first place. You seemed to be saying that the WWA is all someone can do for the whole round and so the 5-foot step must be available within it. But since your full attack action can include the WWA [i]and[/i] other attacks, that is when you need to understand how the feat works. The entirety of the WWA action is one [i]thing[/i]. It is a single attack "action" that can be used on multiple targets. It goes off all at once. This is in addition to your off-hand swing(s). Before, between or after the two portions of your full attack action, you can take your 5-foot step. I don't know if you are trying to be rediculous or not here. I never said that my example consisted of 5 actions. Please refrain from taking things out of context in an attempt to discredit. I never even came close to implying that the steps I gave were "actions". Is ending the WWA an action as well? Obviously, the break-down I made was just a step-by-step of how to apply the WWA. I just explained how that works above. The 5-foot spet is still viable when WWA is used. It just has to go before or after the actual WWA portion of your full attack action. And I conclude that you are reading it that way because it gets you what you want. It doesn't matter what it really says, you want to be able to abuse the rule. Then everything I have just stated should be clear. [/QUOTE]
