Trivial and Simple Actions can be performed in combination with other actions

just add 1 or 2 for each action

Interesting. I knew “some” speed 2 actions were combinable but I didn’t realize all Simple skill
Actions were. That makes using Exploit Weakness more feasible

True, but exploit weakness is I’ll have to review what other things are Simple. So far found Exploit Weakness and Challenge .

Just noticed this in the rulebook:

Trivial Actions
Some actions may be combined with other actions, causing a slight delay. Only one Trivial Action may be taken during a given Character’s turn.

Looks like I’ve been doing it wrong for a while now.

John

Under Actions in Combat (Definition of Trivial Actions). I’ve missed it apparently *every* time I’ve looked.

Where does it say simple action may be combined with another action?

Trivial and Simple Actions can be performed in
combination with other actions (such as movement or
even attacking), as their use doesn’t warrant consideration
as an action but do occupy a small portion of a hero’s time
(reflected in the Speed cost of the skill use).

Eisener is Sword and Board HC of Nier … uses a bastard sword. I spend a 2 tick action to dump his shield if I have to cast in combat.2 ticks? Stowing a shield is weapon speed. Dropping it on the ground is speed 0.

How are you doing this at speed 2?

Hunh. You know I was told in the Jappa BI that it was speed 2 to drop a shield to the ground. Seemed reasonable to me that its somewhat more complicated to get rid of something with arm straps than to drop what’s in your hand. So that’s what I’ve done … doesn’t happen very often for Eisener in combat so its always been a corner case. (He’s more paladin-y in his spell casting and usually uses it out of combat).

But you’re right it should be speed zero to drop. Boo-yah!
