Haste question

[Atalius]

Would Exacting Strike count as a "Strike" if you were Hasted?

[Ferious Thune]

I believe not. The subordinate action rules can get confusing. You make a strike as part of exacting strike, but you can’t make an exacting strike anytime another ability allows you to make a Strike.

Haste allows you to take the Strike action, not any other action that happens to include a Strike.

It's a case of squares and rectangles; there are many actions which involve making a Strike (those are the rectangles) but there is only one action that is named Strike (it is the square).

A rule that says "make a Strike" is talking about the square, where a rule that says something like "your Strikes do additional damage" is talking about the rectangles.

Noble drake is correct. See sidebar CR 462 on subordinate actions

"...For example, the quickened condition you get from the haste spell lets you spend an extra action each turn to Stride or Strike, but you couldn't include any activity that includes Stride or Strike."

Use your hasted Strike as your first, and this becomes a non-issue. Neither Haste nor the Quickened condition state a requirement around the order in which you have to take your extra action.
