Reactions to Movement
Explains how move-trait actions like Stride can trigger reactions such as Reactive Strike at every threatened square you leave.
Parent page Tactical Movement
Some reactions and free actions are triggered by a creature using an action with the move trait. The most notable example is Reactive Strike (reproduced below). Actions with the move trait can trigger reactions or free actions throughout the course of the distance traveled. Each time you exit a square within a creature's reach, your movement triggers those reactions and free actions (although no more than once per move action for a given reacting creature). If you use a move action but don't move out of a square, the trigger instead happens at the end of that action or ability.
Some actions, such as Step, specifically state they don't trigger reactions or free actions based on movement.
