[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7295599, member: 6919838"] Actually for 5e i believe the list is Action (move included not as a separate thing) Bonus action (iirc like minor actions) which is dependent on enabling rule/circumstances but it seems to me that most characters have a bonus action on most turns than not so, its hardly an exception. Reaction - triggered but not uncommon Interaction - one per turn. non-actions - loosely specified and rather infrequent IMX. so the list itself does not seem that difference on just a practical "listing" of types. if one wants to argue the play is different, that is a different discussion but just listing the types of actions and using different standards so one side looks "shorter" is not particularly compelling. NOTE: I have no opinion on faster or slower or care about the diff between 4e and 5e. My bet is it varies significantly by group as to which works slower or faster and by how much - and it may vary over time - new to 5e vs old hat at 4e for instance. [/QUOTE]
