====== Actions ======

To do anything with your [[:Character]] in Meat Space consists of taking some kind of [[:Ability:Action]], these [[:Ability:Action|Actions]] can be broken down into 3 primary types: \\
\\
<WRAP group>
<WRAP column centeralign third>
**[[:Ability#Action]]**
----
The all-purpose action, covers anything that takes a bit of focus, from firing a gun to pointed conversation.
</WRAP>
<WRAP column centeralign third>
**[[:Ability:Action:Quick Action]]**
----
A rapid action, covers anything that can be done in a snap, from snarky replies to quick-drawing a pistol.
</WRAP>
<WRAP column centeralign third>
**[[:Ability:Action#Free Action]]**

----
An action that takes almost no time at all, from dropping things to thinking.
</WRAP>
</WRAP>
Each of these [[:Ability:Action]] types is representative of how quickly any given task or manoeuvre can be accomplished by a [[:Character]]. Anything that may take many consecutive [[:Ability:Action|Actions]] or a longer time than that is where [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual|Rituals]] come in.  \\
\\
A [[:Character]] may only perform [[:Ability:Action|Actions]] if they have the required amount of [[:Mechanic:Rating:Action Point|Action Points]] or [[:Mechanic:Rating:Quick Action Point|Quick Action Points]]. For further detail on each [[:Ability:Action]] and their costs see below. For general [[:Ability:Action|Actions]] available to all [[:Character|Characters]] see [[:Ability:General Ability|General Abilities]].\\
\\
See also [[:Ability:Action:Spell|Spells]] for magical [[:Ability:Action|Actions]].
