New Posts For Thread: The Length of a Turnhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29479563/The_Length_of_a_TurnSo, just thinking around about this. You can only take one standard action a turn, correct? Thus, a standard action must take up more than half of a turn. You can only take a maximum of two moves, thus, they must take up more than a third of a turn.Ha Thanks Alcestis!
