Alright, I've scoured every book I could think of, and I haven't found a satisfactory answer yet.

When using a Full-Round Action, is your Swift and Immediate action for that turn also used up? Anyone know where I could find this?

In a normal round, you can perform a standard action and a move action, or you can perform a full-round action. You can also perform one or more free actions. You can always take a move action in place of a standard action.

Standard and move OR full-round implies that you trade your standard and move actions for a full-round action. You still get your five foot step and your Swift or Immediate Action in addition to that.

They printed the Full Round Action before they even thought up the Swift action, so odds are that you do not use it up.

More specifically, from the description of the swift action itself:

You can perform one swift action per turn without affecting your ability to perform other actions.

In a turn, you get:

1 Move
1 Standard
1 Swift/Immediate
As many Frees as you want (almost)

You can do a full-round action if you haven't used either of the first two. You can do a 5-foot step as long as you haven't used your move action to otherwise move. You can use a Standard to move, but not the reverse. Immediates can be done when it isn't your turn, but they use up your next turn's Swift.

You can take a move action and a 5-ft step in the same round if you use your move action for something other than movement, such as drawing a weapon.

Thanks, and fixed

More nitpick. You can only take a 5' step if you don't otherwise move (whether or not you used your move action to do so). This matters with things like Travel Devotion, or just charging.

While true, I consider charging to be a form of "using your move action to move," and Travel Devotion+similar effects are a little beyond the scope of what I was trying to do with that summary, so I'll leave it as-is :smallsmile:

Cool. I had figured it was something like that, but the whole "swift and immediate actions coming out after the PHB was published" had me confused.

Many thanks, all.
