We goofed on this one! So many rules are so similar to D&D that we assume that they are exactly the same. Not so with the 5' step.
In D&D (OGL/SRD): You can move 5 feet in any round when you don’t perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can’t take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round when you move any distance.
In Conan: You can move 5 feet in any round when you don’t perform any other kind of movement as a free action but the movement will provoke AoO's as normal if you take any other actions during your turn! (I'm paraphrasing from memory -- but it's something like this.)
WOW! Combat tactics suddenly changed in last night's game!
Anyone else miss this difference?
