Rule Combat Action Economy

Round flow essentials

• Surprised creatures skip first initiative card in round one.
• One major action per creature per round baseline.
• End of round occurs when all encounter cards are resolved.

Heroic economy

• Heroic actions can include major movement.
• Stims and feature text can alter spending behavior.
• Heroic resource conservation is a key campaign-level decision.

Bonus-action probability dynamic

• Higher initiative ranges have substantially higher chance to receive bonus-action windows.
• Initiative tuning (stats, weapon training, build choices) directly changes action throughput.
