Move Action

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
