[B52E] questions about Feint

Hello

I have some trouble with the Feint in B52E.

If i read well, feinting is an attack action and not a move action (except if you have the Improved Feinting Feat).

It is an opposed roll against your opponent and if you win, your opponent is flat-footed against your attacks only and only for one round.

If it is a attack action and considering that you can only make one attack action by round (barring full attack), you feint the first round and you have to attack the second round to benefit from the feint and also you must have the intitiative since it lasts only one round ? OR you can attack immediatly after the feint (fact which is not indicated in the book) ?

because when we play D&D (I am GM with B5 but player in D&D) Rogues usually makes a feint check just before attacking, implying that, in standard D&D rules, feint is a move action (my girlfriend has the player handbook, I cannot check) or that my fellow co-players are cheating or misunderstanding the feinting rules or that B5 treat Feint differently.

Thanks for your future(s) answer(s) :D

That's the one.
