Make a basic attack using a weapon you're wielding. See Trials (Attack Trials) for how attacks are resolved — Agility to hit, Prowess if trained, Brawn or Ego added to damage depending on whether the attack is physical or magical.

Cast a spell. You must have a free hand available. Action Points cost depends on the spell — see the spell's own entry for its exact cost (typically 1–3 AP).

You can make a wild charge before hurling your weapon or crashing into a foe, moving up to twice your normal speed in a straight line before making an attack with a melee or thrown weapon. You must be able to move at least 15 feet to get the requisite momentum. If the attack would be a Strong Success, it becomes a Devastating Success instead. Until the start of your next turn, attackers targeting you gain Edge on their Attack Trials.

Take a defensive stance. Roll available Hero Dice and add the total to one of your Defensive Ratings. This bonus lasts until the start of your next turn.

Issue and execute a Stratagem.

Some spells have an ongoing effect that must be maintained each round — see the Focus Spell Facet. Taking this action sustains such a spell for another round.

Make an Attack Trial against the target's Guard — unarmed, dealing no damage. On success, the target gains Grappled, Hobbled, and Staggered. You gain Hobbled.

Make a melee or ranged attack with a weapon that has the Heavy property. If the attack would be a Strong Success, it becomes a Devastating Success instead.

Shape a Spark from raw magical potential rather than waiting for spellcasting to produce one. Choose any number of Sparks to generate from disciplines you have access to, spending 1 Flux per Spark generated. The Sparks generated may be of different disciplines (once you have access to more than one).

Use your Wildspark to activate one of your primal spirit's abilities.

Make an attack with an off-hand weapon or a ranged weapon that has the Light property.

Move up to your speed.

Scoop an object off the floor, if you have a free hand — it's ready to use in your grip.

Retrieve an item from your belt or a quick-slot pouch — drawing a sword, grabbing a token, or pulling out a potion (and using it) all fall under this action.

Reload a weapon that has the Reload property, such as a crossbow.

Retrieve a stored item from a pack slot and use it — a weapon, rope, or a potion (and using it) all fall under this action. Slower than Quick Action, since pack slots aren't as readily at hand as a belt or quick-slot.

Move up to half your speed to an ally and position yourself to take the brunt of what's coming. Until the start of your next turn, you must remain adjacent to that ally to maintain this effect.

Move up to half your speed, using the shadow, distance, or cover along your path to slip from view. Attempt a Sneak (Agility) Trial against the highest Mind DR among those who might see you — on success, you become Hidden.

Get up from a Prone position, gathering any dropped belongings as you rise.

Use a skill that could reasonably be done in a few moments — the pressure valve for scene-specific ideas the named Combat actions don't anticipate, same role this action plays in Exploration and Social.

Quickly craft a concoction. You must have both hands free and ingredients available to use.
