Others
Some actions don’t fall into one of these categories.
- Major and Minor Action: Some actions need both a major and minor. This type of action is a separate category from major actions and minor actions.
- Full-Round Action: Some actions need a major, a minor, and ALL your speed. This type of action is a separate category from major actions and minor actions.
- Stances: Stances can have a variety of action costs for entering it, and confer additional effects for doing so. They are typically entered as a minor action or as part of rolling for initiative, and can be exited as a free action. If the stance has any other clauses for entering, maintaining, and/or exiting it, it will specify so in its description.
- A creature (usually, you) can only have one stance active at any time.
- Channeled Action: Some actions need longer than a full-round action to perform, such as channeling a psionic ability. In this case, unless otherwise specified, it requires a major action on subsequent turns to maintain the channel.
- Scrutinize: You study a target or object over 1 minute, learning most hidden features/anatomy about a target, their current emotional state, and more information at the SM’s discretion.
- Additionally, if you remained undetected by your target for the entirety of the action, if you make a melee attack with a finesse specibus on the target and you are still undetected, it automatically hits with advantage on the damage roll.
- Alternately, you gain advantage on the next healing roll you make on them.
- Rapid Action: These are actions unique to Adversaries, RPGStuck’s equivalent to bosses, where the adversary can replicate a major or move action, albeit at half strength. One rapid action can be taken between any two creatures’ turns in a strife, even if the adversary is one of them. Typically, adversaries will have rapid actions when facing multiple players; the Denizen is an adversary, but has no rapid actions.
- Scripted Action: A scripted action is an action during a strife that immediately occurs at some specific instance, such as the start of each round.
