Staggered withdrawal?

[Seraphimpunk]

if you're staggered, at 0 hp, can you use the withdraw action as a standard action? it lists "restricted withdraw" in the combat section, just wondered if staggered would count to being limited.

( sure you'd still drop after taking your standard action to withdraw but sometimes its just nice to retreat somewhere friendly, or through a friends healing square. )

Since a staggered character does not have the option to take a full round action, I would say that a restricted withdraw is valid.

I think that was the intent. Withdraw is a full-round action and you can't take a full-round action if you are staggered so ... restricted withdraw.

Staggered condition limits character to one standard or move action on his turn. Withdrawal can be done as a standard action when you character is limited to making single standard action on his turn. Seems to be tailored perfectly for such circumstances. Especially that the only other common situation when characters are limited to making a move or standard action on their turn is during surprise round.

Zombies can do that, but they just call it a charge attack.

Spoiler:

If you are able to take only a standard action on your turn, you can still charge, but you are only allowed to move up to your speed (instead of up to double your speed) and you cannot draw a weapon unless you possess the Quick Draw feat. You can't use this option unless you are restricted to taking only a standard action on your turn.

Spoiler:

Staggered: A staggered creature may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions). A staggered creature can still take swift and immediate actions. A creature with nonlethal damage exactly equal to its current hit points gains the staggered condition.

I'd say yea.

Yes it can be done.

[Seraphimpunk]

silly, since the only way it lets you do a standard action charge is if you're restricted.

[Shizzle69]

follow up question. Can you pounce on a restricted charge?

[blue_the_wolf]

ha!
