5 foot step

[GutterFace]

I know you can take a 5 foot step after a lot of full attacks. are you allowed to take a 5 foot step after a charge? even a charge without pounce?

[Deaxsa]

nope, nope. because of this: Charge Info
(http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#charge)

You can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round as a charge.

and also this: Action Types (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#actionTypes)


Some full-round actions do not allow you to take a 5-foot step.
(it'll say in the action description)

could you post simple questions like this in the RAW Thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318591)?

It's actually explicitly stated that you cannot. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm)

Though there might be exceptions when it comes to stuff from other books.

Not to mention:

You can move 5 feet in any round when you don’t perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can’t take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round when you move any distance.

Emphasis mine, of course. That's like the ONLY rule about 5-foot steps. Of course you can't use it after a charge, when you've moved.
