Actions

Each turn players have a set of three actions - a Standard action, a Move action, and a Minor action. Standard actions can be converted into move or minor actions, and move actions can be converted into minor actions.

When it is not a player's turn, they can take Immediate actions. A character only has one immediate action per round. Immediate actions can divided into Reactions and Interrupts. All immediate actions have some form of trigger that enables a character to take them. Interrupts happen before the triggering action is resolved, while reactions happen afterwards.

In addition to the above, some rare powers use Free actions or have no action at all. Free actions can be taken regardless of whether it's a characters turn, but unless they have a trigger and are a "free interrupt" they cannot interrupt an action taken by another character. Powers that are no action can be used even while stunned.

Characters can gain an extra standard action by spending an Action point. A character can only spend one action point per encounter, and can recover action points by taking a long rest or reaching a milestone during the day.

The following are powers available to every character at-will, encompassing the most common ways they can interact with combat. This is not an exhaustive list, as skills or objects in the world may present new kinds of choices.
