    Shield Defense and Wall of Steel both have a speed of 1(5). Are they treated as trivial actions (or are usable as such)? For example could you dash as a speed 3 action, and then use Shield Defense, giving you it’s benefits until your next action? If not, could you combine them with incidental movement effectively? I ask this because simply using it as it’s own action seems… hard to use effectively, as without knowing when an enemy will act you’ll have to simply skip your actions to keep it up.

    As an extension of this question, do all speed 1 actions act as trivial actions? Or do they have to explicitly state that they’re trivial?

    As Josh said an action must says Trivial. It’s not sufficient to just be speed 1 or 2.

    I should also say, that I wish Speed 1 (and 2 ) were combineable, it would make some things (like distract opponet ) much nicer

    Having trouble finding that errata, doesn’t seem to be in the faq. In addition what does it mean by speed +1? Does the no delaying apply to Shield Defense as well?

    There are some speed 2 that I wish were combinable also. Exploit Weakness \":)\"

    Keep in mind that speed 1 and 2 *skill actions* can be combined with another action. (see Skills chapter).
    Talents vary about whether they are combinable or not.

    Correction, Trivial and Simple Skill actions can be combined. Actions that are Speed 1 or 2 that aren’t labeled as Trivial or Simple are not combinable without special permission written in.
