Move Action
A move action allows you to move up to your speed or perform an action that takes a similar amount of time.
You can 'trade down' a standard action for a move action. If you move no actual distance in a round (commonly because you have swapped your move action for one or more equivalent actions), you can take one 5-foot step either before, during, or after the action. Note that any move action which involves movement, such as standing up from prone, disallows 5-foot steps for the round.
Common uses for move actions include:
- Moving up to your speed
- Open or close a door
- Mount/dismount a steed
- Draw a weapon1
- Pick up an item
- Stand up from prone
- Ready or drop a shield
- Retrieve a stored item
- 1 - You can also draw a weapon as a free action when moving
