Actions And DV

Known

  • (Multiple attacks = -4dice, -2DV)
  • (supplemental action = -2dice, -1DV)
  • (reflexive action = no penalty)

Hmm.

Generalizations

  • Multiple Actions (-4 dice, -2DV)
    • If an action has an associated die pool, it takes an action (usually 5 ticks) OR incurs a penalty when used with another action
      • Examples: Most boons, physical or social attacks, etc.
  • Supplemental Action (-2dice, -1DV)
    • If an action does not have an associated die pool but it not a RESPONSE (reflexive) action, it takes an action (usually 5 ticks) OR incurs a penalty when used with another action
      • Examples: drawing or retrieving a weapon, boons without die pools, anything requiring concentration or distraction
  • Reflexive Action (no penalty)
    • Anything done automatically as a response to another action or specifically intended to enhance an action as it occurs
      • Examples: Resist rolls, some boons, many knacks, etc.

Caveats

  • Multitasking
    • Up to [Legend] mental action without penalty?
