    The document discusses initiative and taking turns in combat. It explains that initiative is determined by an initiative check of 1d20 plus an initiative modifier, with characters acting from highest to lowest check result. On a character's turn, they can take a standard action and a move action, or two move actions, as well as any number of free actions. Actions must be taken in order, though a character can move and then attack or vice versa. At the end of the turn, effects ending at the turn end expire and the next character's turn begins.

    INITIATIVE

    The order in which characters take their turns is determined by initiative. Base initiative bonus is
    equal to the character’s Agility rank. Many characters have advantages or powers that modify their
    initiative, such as Improved Initiative.
    At the start of a conflict, roll an initiative check for each character:

    [d20 + initiative modifier]


    The initiative check determines what order characters act in, counting down from highest check
    result to lowest.

    TAKING YOUR TURN


    When it is your turn in the initiative order, you declare what actions your character will perform,
    and they are resolved in order.

    STARTING YOUR TURN


    The Gamemaster informs you when it is your turn. When you start your turn, you should:
    • End effects that last “until the start of your next turn”.

    TAKING ACTIONS
    You get a standard and a move action each turn.
    You can exchange your standard action for an additional move action, allowing you to perform two
    move actions.
    You can also perform as many free actions on your turn as you wish.

    ORDER OF ACTIONS
    You perform your actions in any order that you wish, but you cannot normally “split” your actions.
    So, for example, although you can move (move action) and then attack (standard action) or attack
    and then move, you cannot move half your distance, attack, and then move the other half unless you
    have some special trait that allows you to do so.

    EXTRA ACTION
    You can use extra effort in order to take an additional standard or move action on your turn (see
    Extra Effort on page 19).

    ENDING YOUR TURN


    At the end of your turn, you should:
    • End any effects that last “until the end of your turn”;
    • Make any necessary resistance checks to recover from ongoing effects;
    • Inform the Gamemaster and other players that your turn is finished, allowing the next character in
    the initiative order to go.
