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)
