I've always been confused about that.  I had the impression one could take a 5' step if one hadn't made any other movements (not move actions).  So using a move action to stow something in a pack (or pick something up) doesn't preclude doing a 5' step, whereas moving 30' certainly does.  If this is right, Hunter could pick up the scimitar (move action), make a 5' step to close with Kursk or perhaps Sapper, and then swing as a standard action.<br/><br/>But I'm definitely not sure about my interpretation of the 5' step!  If I'm wrong, I've been cheating...  :D<br/><br/>Bree, for her part, is leaving her sword where it is.  Her movements will tend to be in the "the heck away" direction!
