Action Point table

From Sagataflwiki

This article is to contain the Action Point table, for Speed Factors 0 to 9, and action classes A through E, and notes on which actions belong to which classes.

It is intended to be a temporary article, its content to be moved out into one or more separate and more elaborate articles eventually.

Speed Factor 8 is deliberately a "dead zone" for classes B to E: one must "spend" 2 Speed Factors to get the last improvement. Please note that SF improvements to Dodge should be hard to come by (mainly Martial Arts and temporary buffs), but not ones to Shield or Staff actions (Martial Arts, buffs, and Enchantments, and for Shields also craftsmanship quality). Likewise the "dead zone" principle will not necessarily apply to the Walk and Run AP costs.

Combat actions
