Dysfunctional Rules IV- It's like a sandwich made of RAW failure!

[Curmudgeon]

No, an Attack Action is the Standard Attack.

This is a dysfunction. The term "attack action" is used, but never defined, in the D&D rules. It could be any of the following:

• a standard action attack
• a full attack action (the only option using the exact phrase)
• an attack of opportunity (despite it being "no action")
• a bonus attack, such as afforded by Improved Trip
