    No, it does not need to be a skill, as I recall. A quick drawn weapon (trivial) can be combined.

    There are not many (any) trivial SKILL actions. This is a sore spot for some of us…

    There are quite a few Talents classed as Trivial Skill Actions. No actual skills though.

    Why change. I can’t see how it adds to the game.

    Stand up and attack – add two to speed and can draw free attack.
    Move two and attack – already there
    Move pace (with quickness) and attack, maybe a slight problem but will drat free strikes
    Draw weapon and attack – can’t see an issue.

    Can’t think of other examples but I am sure there are sum

    Does any spells have speed 2? That may be an issue

    Actually there are quite a few Skill Actions that are either Trivial or Simple (Combined with another Action) or performed as part of another action (usually movement):

    Acroatics: Reduce Falling Damage, Tumbling
    Appraise: Barter
    Athletics: Jumping, Swimming
    Battle: Spot Ambush
    Beast Lore: Heal Animal, Ride Animal
    Deceit: Tell a Lie, Recall Lie
    Empathy: Read Someone
    Etiquette: Know Place, Heraldry
    Knowledge: Assess Threat, Recall Facts
    Larceny: Sleight of Hand, Pick Pockets
    Linguistics: Understand Familiar
    Mettle: Perserverance
    Perception: Spot, Something out of Place
    Ride: Drive, Ride, Fast Mount/Dismount
    Stealth: Hide Small Objects

    While all Simple Actions are 2 ticks, not all 2 tick actions are called Simple

    Correct, but if it’s listed as “Simple” it can be combined. All the checks listed above are labeled as Trivial or Simple (or no action required)

    many of those have very limited combat applications …. Still. I think I just got refuted. \":D\"
