| AP | RP | BP |
|---|---|---|
| • Action Points • 4 points during your turn • Weapons and Abilities use AP |
• Reaction Points • 4 points after your turn ends • used for Reaction Abilities • Help Action • Condition Removal |
• Bonus Points • Extra actions you in a round • You can only use 1 BP per Round unless otherwise stated |
Action Points¶
+4 AP Abilities - Certain abilities have more than 1 turn's amount of point cost. When this happens, you cannot use another ability with an action cost, both on your turn and off your turn. (Sometimes RP will be shown in the action cost to clarify this later point.)
