Actions determine what you do during a round of combat. Actions take a predetermined amount of time. There are four basic types of actions: Free Actions, Half Actions, Full Actions and Reactive Actions. Free actions take almost no time and are therefore free, you can take as many of these as you like. Half actions take up half the time of a round. You can take two of these during a single round. Full actions take all the time of a round. Reactive actions are reactions on someone else's actions. You can take one of these during a round, regardless of your other actions.
