Seeking RPG players

Our group has been running for 5+ years, mostly Pathfinder but some 4e and Savage Worlds. Usually we have three couples. One of the couples is leaving town so we need to replace them.

We're looking for two players, older, more mature. We're into laughs and good times and roleplaying. No drama, drinking (occasional beer, maybe), drugs, or rules lawyering. A couple would be cool but not required. Completely new players are more than welcome.

If you, and we, like what we hear, we'll schedule a meet to interview one another to see what kind of fit there might be.

We typically play once a week for about 4 hours. All you need is a willingness to have fun, we can supply the rest.

If interested, please email: rpgwithus@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself.

Hey all,

The Lunge feat says: "Benefit: You can increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn by taking a –2 penalty to your AC until your next turn. You must decide to use this ability before any attacks are made."

I think this is pretty straight forward. Any melee attacks you make during your turn can be made with 5 foot reach if you accept the -2 penalty to AC until your next turn. This means that this benefit does not apply to OAs. I get that, no problem.

Monkey Lunge, however, is causing issues with the way its worded: "Benefit: As a standard action, you can use the Lunge feat to increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn, without suffering a penalty to your AC."

What does it mean by "as a standard action you can use the lunge feat..."

Does it mean that you have to use a standard action to sort of "activate" the monkey lunge aspect of lunge? That doesn't make any sense to me because it's until the end of your turn...there would be no action on which to actually execute the monkey lunge.

So, assuming it doesn't need that standard to 'activate' then I have two other guesses as to why that 'standard action' is in the description of monkey lunge:

1) You can only monkey lunge as part of an attack action, meaning you can't do it as part of a full-round action (like you couldn't monkey lunge while spring attacking, for instance); or

2) The phrase is unnecessary in the description and it should really read more like: "Benefit: You can use the Lunge feat to increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn, without suffering a penalty to your AC."

Anyone have any insight? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
