+A Full Round Action requires both a Move Action and a Standard Action to perform. As Standard Actions may be swapped for Move Action, a Character who has more Standard Actions may spend these in their place. As such, a Full Round Action can be split over two rounds, where-in the character spends one Standard Action per round to accomplish it, allowing them to use Move Actions on other tasks, so long as they do not distract from the main task.

		+	Multi-Round Actions, meanwhile, are Full Round actions that take considerable amounts of time compared to simpler actions, such as picking a lock. Most long term actions, such as giving a performance or cracking a safe are effectively Multi Round Actions, but being that they generally occur out of combat, they are usually not designated as such.

 ===Standard Actions===
 Standard Actions are actions that require the character’s focus and skill to perform – striking a foe, untying a knot, blocking an attack. They may be quick, but they require the character’s full attention.
 Some Standard Actions allow a character to gain Attacks - these can then be spent on specific forms of attacks.

 Reactions can be taken at any time - including during an enemy's turn. These are usually minor or inconsequential but can sometimes be life-saving. Some may cost an action or attack - for instance, a Defensive Disarm means the character must use up one attack this round or spend a Standard Action on an Attack next round to pay for it.
