Action Cost
From Legends of Cphera
The following are tables detailing how many AP various actions cost in combat. The "On-Turn Cost" refers to actions taken on the character's turn. "Off-Turn Cost" refers to actions taken as Actions of Opportunity or Conditional Actions.
If a character wishes to split the cost of an action between two of his turns, he may do so. However, the character forfeits the ability to act on all Conditional Actions and Actions of Opportunity, and the character is rendered Flat-footed until the start of his next turn.
