<h2>ACTIONS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The chart on the right summarizes the various actions available during a
|
|
conflict; these are explained in detail over the course of this section.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There's something important that should always be kept in mind when performing
|
|
an action: that action isn't just a simple gesture, it's the main focus of
|
|
your turn and a precise tactical choice. When you Attack, you perform a full
|
|
offensive maneuver; when you Study, you focus your attention and try to obtain
|
|
critical information, and so on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>MINOR ACTIVITIES</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are a lot of minor gestures and operations that can be performed on your
|
|
turn, alongside your main action; the Game Master has final say on what you
|
|
can accomplish, but you'll generally be able to squeeze in at least one of the
|
|
following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Pick up an item from the ground and/or drop something you are holding.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you pick up an accessory, a shield, or a weapon, you may immediately
|
|
equip it — provided you have a free slot and are able to equip the item in
|
|
question (for more information on this, see page 122).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you drop an equipped item, you will no longer have it equipped.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to properly rearrange your gear, you must perform the
|
|
Equipment action.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Quickly throw an item you are holding to another character.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Perform a minor interaction with the environment: open an unlocked door,
|
|
pull a lever, or kick down a wooden plank to bridge a gap.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All of these may be performed before, after, and sometimes during the main
|
|
action of your turn — again, the Game Master is responsible for adjudicating
|
|
what is feasible during a single turn. Be generous whenever possible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If what you're doing requires a Check, then it's probably your main action for
|
|
the turn.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Everything a character does to inject style and uniqueness in their actions
|
|
will virtually take no time — complex blade choreographies, magical chants,
|
|
the mixing of alchemical ingredients before throwing a potion and any
|
|
similarly flavorful descriptions should be encouraged, not penalized!
