Stock Actions Compendium

[shut temple]

🟢 go!

[sand harbor]

Ok, so far Chases, Grapple, Mass Battles, Social Conflicts, Networking

[pure wolf]

Connections?

[sand harbor]

Fear rolls?

[sand harbor]

Yeah, maybe

[cedar garden]

Fear yeah, be nce to have an action trigger a macro in that case

Soak?

Unshake?

I know those are already easily done as Trait rolls but people always seem to ask for a button for them

[cedar garden]

Is there a hook whereby we could add these to a sheet on creation, like core skills?

[pure wolf]

not yet, but we've been discussing that, remember?

[cedar garden]

so many things

we need more Flos

Not for core but "Dominion"

[sand harbor]

Touch Attack

Two Weapons

[cedar garden]

Evade?

Push

[sand harbor]

Suppressive Fire?

[cedar garden]

Can actions trigger a template?

doesn't look like

[reef badge]

Consideration for soak: The setting rule Unarmored Hero

[sand harbor]

Disarm?

[cedar garden]

Wild Attack

[cedar garden]

yes or Iron Jaw

I think having an action might make logic for those easier

or they can be rolls on the action

like "Soak", "Unarmored Hero", "Iron Jaw"

[reef badge]

ya that makes sense to me, Soak really sticks out as the type of thing that wants an action

[cedar garden]

or smart coders can later say "when using x action apply y bonus"

[sand harbor]

Can we have template buttons?

[cedar garden]

I mean anything is possible just a matter of resources

don't think there's a technical reason why an action can't have a template

[sharp valley]

Until know I used actions for grapple, feint (& resist feint) and entangle (with resist entangle with str & athletics and attack object).

[cedar garden]

I added resist options to all the powers, so that should generally handle entangle outside of grappling

unless I guess some item or weapon does it

feint is interesting

[cedar garden]

you want to look into the system templates and see if it can be added?

[sand harbor]

Off-hand? Wait, with the new equip options, is that accounted for?

[cedar garden]

Yeah I think so

there are a few things that different stuff handles

Unshake is also done in the combat tracker for example

[sand harbor]

Yeah

[cedar garden]

Okay I made an issue for this on the repo and will see where it can get done

Will be in swade core rules premium, not the system

[reef badge]

Yeah that makes way more sense to me

[sharp valley]

Yeah, I used it for attacks with bolas and a net.

[sand harbor]

Oh, is it going to have proprietary content? I was thinking it'd be just a module of action Items.

[cedar garden]

I was thinking of including the rules text in the description

so when you open the "suppressive fire" action all the details are there

[sand harbor]

I guess that makes sense

It's hard to draw the line between function and content.

[cedar garden]

we struggle all the time

and some functions may, one day, be more advanced

[slender hill]

Combat Tricks - Open ended but specify a skill or trait, that can result in Shaken. It's a big perk of Savage Worlds that non combatants can still help

[lofty star]

I think it's much more powerful if it has the rules text in the Action, FWIW (the obvious downside being that then it has to be in the premium module, and the community can't help compile it)

[cedar garden]

I was thinking about this and maybe it's a basic/premium thing like edges

Patch all actors can probably handle patching actions too...still thinking

[lofty star]

Actions triggering macros is on my to-do list. I had a mostly working prototype done a while back.

[cedar garden]

For Fear I guess you can link to the macro in the text for now

[lofty star]

any value in taking the list of possible actions ({Trait, Resist, Damage}) and also adding {Roll on Rollable Table}?

If all the macro is going to do is link the to table, it's kinda redundant

oh, hmm, doesn't work for (eg) Fear though. You need to apply a modifier.

[cedar garden]

Right the Macro handles the modifier too

[cedar garden]

But roll on table might still be good for things like creative combat...hard to tell

Need to use Actions more in game play to get a handle on the flow

[snow bolt]

I just took a look through the discussion and didn't see a scenario where an action applies an Effect when clicked. Right now if I put an action on a character it immediately applies the Effect. A good example would be using the Defend action which give +4 parry for 1 round.

[pure wolf]

Actions are specifically meant for things that require rolls. Defend does not. You can just apply the +4 parry

[slender hill]

Can actions trigger an opposed roll? e.g. roll Intimidation vs Spirit or the like?

[cedar garden]

Yes
