According pg. 262 of the Core Rulebook, it says "The text of an extraordinary ability indicates what type of action is required to use it, as well as how often the creature can use it. If an extraordinary ability doesn’t specify what type of action is required to activate it, it requires a standard action."
If that is the case, then the Skittermander's Hyper ability (Alien Archive, Pg. 106) makes no sense. It states "Hyper (Ex): Once per day, a skittermander can take an extra move action."
If we take the rules as written for EX abilities into account, that means that skittermanders can use a standard action to get a move action, but that's something that every player character or NPC can do anyways. While this is the most confusing example I have found, alot of the EX ability wordings in the Alien Archive to present static/passive effects, but some can be more ambigious than others. If that is the case, then is the wording in the Core Rulebook for EX abilites just dead wrong?
