Combat

Initiative

Characters roll a join battle actions to establish the reaction count. Players roll Wits + Awareness with the highest count going on tick 1, others counting down from there. (Exactly like Exalted) Players may take Free Actions on their join battle actions, for people with the quick draw feat this includes drawing their weapon.

Actions

When it's a character's turn to go, the character gets either one complex action or two simple actions. A character can make any number of free actions on their tick.

• Complex actions:
  • Search a body
  • Some force powers
• Simple actions:
  • Reload blaster
  • Fire blaster/thrown weapon attack
  • Draw weapon
  • Melee or brawl attack
  • Aiming
  • Some force powers
• Free actions:
  • Verbal communication
  • Switching gun mode between stun and kill

• When taking multiple simple actions the speed of the characters action is taken as the slowest of the simple actions taken. For a complex action it is whatever the speed of the complex action is.
• The DV penalty of all actions taken during a tick are added together and applied until DV refreshes. (Etc. Taking 2 simple actions with a DV penalty of -1 gives a -2 DV penalty until DV is refreshed.)
