PBP TURN ORDER

---

You don't roll Initiative, but just post once per round whenever you want in a Play-By-Post game. Instead apply any bonuses you had to Initiative other than Dexterity, to all defenses during the first round of any combat you're in, even if you're surprised and don't act during the first round. This doesn't apply in tabletop games, only PBP.

ROLLING DICE

---

If it's your turn, you roll all the dice instead of targets rolling saving throws.

You still roll your own saving throws on your turn to resist ongoing conditions and afflictions you suffer from. In fact, you roll saving throws (usually Reflex) against enemy attack DCs (10 + their attack bonus) when you provoke attacks of opportunities or other reactions from them.

When you cast a spell or other effect that normally requires the target to make a Fortitude, Reflex, or Will save, you instead make a special attack (1d20 + level + special attack modifiers) vs. DC10 + their saving throw bonus.

TRIPLE ACTION ECONOMY

---

Instead of 1 standard, 1 move, and 1 swift action on your turn, you get 3 basic actions on your turn. Immediate actions are renamed "reactions".

1. Activities that require more than 1 action can be performed over multiple turns as long as they are not interrupted by Attack or Complex actions or Reactions and you don't lose concentration.
   
2. Basic weapon attacks and combat maneuver checks cost 1 action but each attack action imposes a cumulative -5 penalty to all attacks made afterwards on the same turn (max penalty -10). This penalty also applies to attack spells (nonharmless/nonpersonal ones) and attempts to escape bindings, grapples, entanglement. The penalty vanishes at the end of your turn.
   
3. Free actions can only be used on your turn unless explicitly noted otherwise by a trigger in the action's description.
   
4. The Haste and Slow spells simply give/take 1 action. You can't use this extra action to do anything other than a basic action such as a basic weapon attack or move action.
   
5. The Magus Spell Combat ability and other abilities that allow you to perform an action in addition to an attack, add the attack to the base action rather than the other way around. So spell combat does not reduce the casting time of a spell, it merely gives you a free weapon attack as part of the same actions used to cast a spell immediately after or before.

Attack Actions: You take a cumulative -5 penalty to each attack action made after the first during your turn.

Complex Actions: These actions require concentration and provoke attacks of opportunity.

Downtime Activity: These actions require 10 minutes or more to perform and are typically taken outside of action, combat, or social scenes.

Move Actions: These actions involve you moving and provoke attacks of opportunity.

Shift Actions: These actions involve you moving and DO NOT provoke attacks of opportunity.

SHIELD BLOCK

---

Basic Action
Action Reaction; Trigger You're attacked while wielding a shield
Target Triggering attack
Checks You make a Guard roll against the triggering attack's roll result (If wielding a buckler or light shield, you can make a Reflex save instead of a Guard check)
You quickly raise your shield to block the attack.

Critical Success As a success but the damage is halved
Success The attack deals its damage to your shield instead of you and none of its effects
Critical Failure Both you and the shield take the damage
