IF you feinted in combat, could you also attack on the same turn?

Just that i have a Kenku Rogue 5/assassin 4 in my group who Fients quite alot and i'm pretty confused about the fienting rules.

Thanks in advance

If you have improved feint, then yes, because feinting is a move action with the feat. Otherwise, it takes a standard action to feint, which means that you cannot also attack in the same round (also a standard action).

The prestige class Invisible Blade allows feinting as a swift action. If you also had Improved Feint, you could repeat the following two rounds of actions:

Round 1:
Swift-action feint
Attack
Move-action feint

Round 2:
Attack
Swift-action feint
Finish attack action.

With this set of actions, you could get at least three feint-attacks in per two rounds of combat, plus take a full round attack every other round.

I think it actually said free, not swift.

Errata showed that it was supposed to be swift, not free.
