Pounce and Slow

[liviath blackwell]

I noticed the current FAQ states that a creature under the effects of slow still gets the benefit of pounce getting all of their attacks "as it is currently written". I was wondering how this is true. Being slowed gives the target the staggered condition which means only doing a move action or a standard action. Therefore, one cannot charge, as it is a full round action. Pounce requires that the creature charge, and therefore cannot be used when slowed. Is there something I am missing?

[Avoron]

From the Combat section of the Core Rulebook:
"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."

Avoron has the right of it. Pounce is a special ability that is applied to a charge. Being "slowed" does not prevent a charge, hence being able to still get all attacks.

Which is absolutely ludicrous in my opinion but 'them's da rules'.
