| To do anything with your character in Meat Space consists of taking some kind of action, these actions can be broken down into 6 Primary types: Action, Multi-Action, Quick Action, Turn Action, Round Action, and Free Action. Each of these Action types is representative of how quickly any given task or manoeuvre can be accomplished by a character, we'll go into further detail on each action and their costs below:\\ | To do anything with your [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Character]] in Meat Space consists of taking some kind of [[:Game Mechanics:Actions#Actions|Action]], these [[:Game Mechanics:Actions#Actions|Actions]] can be broken down into 4 primary types: \\ |
| | \\ |
| * **Action** - Costs 1 Action Point and is the most common Action type. Actions may only be performed during a players turn. | <WRAP group> |
| * ** Multi-Action** - Similar to a normal Action but requires an amount of Action points equivalent to the listed Multi to be paid together, eg. a Double-Action would cost 2 Action points, a Triple-action 3 points and so on. | <WRAP column half> |
| * **Quick Action** - Quick Actions cost 1 Quick Action Point per use and may be used at any time, even during others turns and checks, there may be some exceptions to this depending on GM say so. | * [[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Action]] |
| * **Turn Action** - The same as a normal Action but costs all of your Action points for your Turn. | * [[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Double Action]] |
| * **Round Action** - The Same as a Turn Action but additionally costs all of your Quick Action Points for the Round. | </WRAP> |
| * **Free Action** - Free Actions inherently cost nothing and can be used and anytime within reason but are quite rare and often have additional costs or restrictions to use them. | <WRAP column half> |
