For ease of play, I think. If you were to figure movement in every Combat
Phase separately, each turn might start to take up several hours real time
while you're doing the bookkeeping...

The way I handle it, is to give *anything* done in the same Phase in which
a character moves, the moving attacker modifier. If they want to avoid
this modifier, they will have to run into the room and attack only on
their *next* action. Which, oftentimes, gives the NPC time to act...
