Combat and Actions

[edit] Basics of Actions
- The Actions a character can take are based entirely on the weapons that character is wielding, their distance to their target, and the number of Action Points they have available
- Offensive Actions:
- Some deal straight damage
- Some are Effects that decrease one or more of the target's Points each turn
- Some are area-based and may affect other enemies near the target (to a lesser degree)
- Defensive Actions:
- Some increase Points either immediately or a little each turn
- Some increase resistance to certain types of attacks
- Some inflict damage on an attacker, reducing any of the attacker's four Points
- A basic Action may be based on one skill, but there are also combo Actions that require two skills
- The cost of an Action depends on the speed of the weapon (or weapons if it's a combo action and the skills are split between weapons)
