Action Points

Action Points (AP) represent speed, agility, and adrenaline. They allow characters to take additional actions beyond their normal 2 actions per turn.

Calculating Action Points

Base AP: Dexterity modifier (minimum 1)

Racial Bonuses:

• Orcs: +1 AP
• Other races: No bonus

Using Action Points

Spend 1 AP to take an additional action on your turn. This can be:

• Attack: Make another weapon or spell attack
• Move: Move your speed again
• Cast Spell: Cast another spell (if able)
• Use Item: Activate magic items or drink potions
• Special Actions: Some feats require AP to activate

Action Point Recovery

Combat Start: Refill to maximum at the start of each combat

Limitation: Cannot refill more than once per minute

Out of Combat: Automatically refill after 1 minute of rest

Increasing Action Points

Some feats and abilities can increase your maximum AP:

• Increasing AP: Permanently raises your maximum
• Restoring AP: Refills spent AP (up to maximum)
• Surging AP: Temporarily exceed maximum (rare, magical only)

Multiple Attack Penalty

Multiple attacks on the same turn suffer cumulative penalties:

• First Attack: No penalty
• Second Attack: -2 penalty
• Third Attack: -4 penalty
• Fourth Attack: -6 penalty

Some feats can reduce or eliminate these penalties.

Action Point Tactics

Burst Damage

Spend all AP for multiple attacks in one turn to overwhelm a single target.

Mobility

Use AP for extra movement to position yourself advantageously or escape danger.

Spell Combinations

Cast multiple spells in one turn for devastating combinations (if you have the spell slots).

Resource Management

Save AP for crucial moments rather than spending them every turn.
