Actions, The heart of the Game

With this Action we Walk,

With this Action we Talk,

With this Action we Strike,

With this Action we Cast,

With this Action we Fire,

With these Actions we live or Die!

An Old Spirit Warrior chant

Actions in Crypt Crawl are the things a character does. Everyone is limited by how many Actions they perform in a thirty second round of combat. "Normal" NPC's, monsters and people in general may perform two actions during a round. The Spirit Warriors of CC start with three Actions. They are immediately ahead of the average enemy.

As characters improve, gain experience, and learn they will obtain more Actions. A top of the line Spirit Warrior will have seven Actions, seven "things" they can do in a combat round.

It is easiest to think of Actions as the ability to do. Want to draw a sword?, Find a Potion in your pouch? Reload a gun? Move? Attack? Appeal a ruling to the GM? Everything uses an Action. You will really like having more Actions to work with, but they only come through experience.
