Movement and actions included as part of a move action

[edooner]

In Chapter Four, Combat, the Action section states, "Each round, a character or monster may move its normal speed and do one thing for each of its action dice."

Later in the section the action "Draw or sheathe a weapon" is listed as taking 1 action, but the footnote says it can be included as part of a move action.

My question is, what is a move action? I understand the standard D&D 3.5 concept of a move action, but does this apply to DCC RPG? From the start of the section, it seems like DCC RPG adheres to a similar "movement _and_ action" system as D&D 5e, rather than the "move action and standard action" of D&D 3.5.

In that case, "included as part of a move action" to me would me, if you use your action die to take another movement, you can include the drawing or sheathing action. But if we're understanding it like D&D 3.5, then it can be done as part of movement.

I've been ruling it like the latter and it seems that taking a whole round to draw a weapon is a big deal.

DCC is built on the SRD (the essence of D&D 3.5).

When you are moving you can draw a weapon (and those other things with the asterisk) as part of the action of moving.

Yeah...do that.
