Crane Wing / fighting defensively - requires a Standard action - yes?

[PapaZorro]

I've of course heard plenty of talk about The Wing, but as far as I can tell you cannot full-attack when using Crane Wing, which seems pretty lame. You either get to take total defense, which is a full round action with no attacks, or fight defensively, which is a standard action.

Why would anyone high enough level to get 2 attacks or more a round use this option (Ok, yes, it's good defense, but you give up many attack potentially).

You can fight defensively during a full attack action. Look under full attack. Fighting defensively as a full round action.

I see where I missed that text, they should keep those two things together on the SRD. Thread answered!
