I do not see a difference in the two. They both function the same just with a different name. Am I missing something here?
They use different actions?
You can do multiple guarded steps in a round?
They're from different games?
You cannot full-attack with a guarded step, and there are abilities in the game which require move-actions to take. In Pathfinder your five-foot step does not consume your move-action.
And there's no rule against making a normal move in the same round you do a Guarded Step. (E.g., against someone with a reach weapon, if I've got this right, you could walk up close to them, Guarded-Step the last 5 feet, and then attack without having provoked.)
I keep thinking Guarded Step is a Swift Action for some reason...
The haste spell now gives you an extra move action, IIRC. So it would be possible.
Edit: It only gives you a move action if you full attack.
Man haste isn't a good spell anymore.

Especially since it's available for purchase or as an upgrade slot to so many others. Spellcasters have some good debuff options to mix with will saves, so Slow is still great, but Haste is a hard sell as a spell known.
Since when has pounce been a hard sell?
Probably because you can't move and make 8 attacks in this game.
Since when has pounce been a hard sell?
Since the pouncers could buy the ability themselves rather than expect their spellcaster buddy to do it for them. Plus ranged attacks got easier to pull of without feats.
Haste has always been overpowered, since 1E.
At least, in AD&D first and second editions, you aged a year if someone cast haste on you.
Only 40, not 50 (“to a maximum of twice the target’s normal speed”).
Haste is also partially redundant to the cyber leg modification that gives a permanent speed boost. Both are enhancement bonuses.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a spell cast on me than my leg cut off.

I got you, fam.
You increase your land speed by replacing joints and tendons in your legs with high-performance cybernetics.
Your caster might prefer to use his very limited known spells on something else just because you're squeamish or a cheapskate.
"Fam"?

In 3.0, it gave you an extra standard action. So it's been steadily nerfed in dnd.
And it's still too good in Pathfinder. I've nerfed it even further in my game so that it applies to one target only, and it's still good spell.
