combat maneuver and 5' step


Rules Questions


ok this is my first post, I have always tried to be more of the spirit than the letter, but I do have a question or 2

1, can you combine combat manoeuvre with a 5' step and if not why not
2, using the combat manoeuvre guide lines you can attach a skill, lets say acrobatics, to a manoeuver. the prime example of this is tumbling. but in conjunction with the above question. take the following scenario

you have a character with acrobatics and you wish to use the 5' step as the initiator to a combat manoeuvre, under acrobatics (reading sort of between the lines) I could perform this kind of manoeuvre at half my movement rate, I don't want to go in to figures as I think this will just cloud the issue. and I know under the 5' rule the guide is you cant move more than 5' but by combining combat manoeuver with the 5' step, have I not now increased this (without increasing the difficulty by 10) to half my movement rate?


and sorry if the above question is in the wrong place
