Expert tactician

[Shadowbane13]

What exactly qualifies as a partial action? The feat in sword and fist "expert tactician" says you are granted an extra partial action per round that an enemy is denied their dex bonus. When outside a full attack would it be able to grant you a second attack?

[Quertus]

"Partial Action" is a 3.0 term, that includes most standard actions, like attack or cast a spell, plus a few extra, like a partial charge (moving up to your movement rate and attacking with charge bonuses / penalties).

So what would that possibly translate to in 3.5e? Cause the expert tactician is in sword and fist 3.5e book.

The Expert Tactician feat was updated in Complete Adventurer, so be quiet a bit different.

However, a normal interpretation of conversion to 'partial action' that I see is 'a standard or move action' (like what you get when you're Slowed, which used to limit you to a partial action).

So you could use the effective extra standard action to make a single attack, or you could use the effective extra move action to allow you to move, then full-attack.

Note that Expert Tactician from Sword and Fist was changed in the errata: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/WTC11829%20_SnF_Weberrata.pdf No more partial action.

And then it was officially changed again in Song and Silence. ("This feat first appeared in Sword and Fist. This version supersedes the one originally printed there." ) At first glance, the S&S version looks a lot like the S&F errata version. It does change the prerequisites to "Dex 13+, base attack bonus +2, Combat Reflexes". (Edit: ENWorld thread about the feat, with S&S text: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?72497-Expert-Tactician-help .)

For 3.5, they changed it again in Complete Adventurer.
