But, one if the fighter superiority dice uses is to improve his AC by the die result as long as he keeps moving. What does that mean? can you only move on your turn,or as long as you move somewhat on your turn it stays active. So basically option one all you do is move. Or option two you move, attack, move, attack, move and as long as move was one of your actions on your turn it stays active.

I've never imagined the characters as standing around looking at each other in between turns. I try to imagine combat as a fast flowing jumble of everything happening at once, with one turn moving right into the next. If you move and then end your turn, and start your next turn with an attack, I would rule that you stopped moving at the beginning of the turn in which you attacked.
#11 lawrencehoy Sep 15, 2014 19:51:43	I'd be inclined to accept that a character that moves at least half their Speed each round is in constant motion. Once the character slows to less than that, I'd say they've interrupted their movement. This would allow the benefit from Evasive Footwork to last longer, but at the cost of possible AoOs; as the character moves around and between enemies (or using Actions to Disengage).
#12 Guest703856308 Sep 15, 2014 20:55:24	I too wondered about this maneuver's odd language. I presume it is intended for the PC's current turn, else you get into deep questions. I would likely start its application as soon as the PC elected to start to move into a different space (i.e., it would work on an AoO if they were immediately moving out of one) and would have it apply through the rest of the PC's turn until their turn ended or their movement ran out, whichever came first.
