Action points determine how many actions a character can perform in a round. In order to perform an action in combat, the character must spend Action Points (AP). Characters' AP pools are refilled every round.

The amount of AP a character can spend is limited by a character's Dexterity and Constitution values.

  • A character cannot spend more than double his Dexterity or Constitution score (whichever is less).
  • If the character spends more AP than his Dexterity, the character takes the difference between them as a penalty to his Dexterity score until his next turn.
  • If the character spends more AP than his Constitution, the character takes the difference between them as Sublethal damage at the end of that action, bypassing normal sublethal damage resistance.
