Action system

*123*

A time-keeping system where available time is split into number of actions the characters can perform per turn, usually limited to 2 actions: such as move&attack or long/double move, and some special cases taking both actions.

Name variations: Action points

Move range is limited only by number of actions, so one move action will allow you to travel for example between 1 to 8 squares while you could move up to 16 squares using both actions. Moving less than 8 squares will still consume the whole action unlike in proper action point system where the number of action points used is 1:1 with distance traveled. Similarly most attacks, regardless of type (single shot, burst, full auto, hipfire, snapshot, etc.) will usually consume one action rather than a variable number of points (aimed shot and similar might use both actions however).
