Minor Actions

[tfwoods3]

Does anyone know where I can find a nice list of actions that list out minor, standard, move, and free actions? Including examples not listed in the books would be great.

Define your terms. What "actions" are you looking to have listed? And what do you consider "books"?

Generally, only movment is ever a move action. Sometimes moving your summoned critters or zones is a move action, but that's it.

Everything else is either standard or minor.

The PHB has a section called "Actions in combat" that starts on page 286, and has a nice chart of actions you can take for standard, move, and minor actions on page 289. Hope that helps

Also, not in the Main Book:

Rolling Perception to find hidden enemies is a minor action these days.

And using a power -always- uses the action-type of that power. This is kinda obvious, but explains why 'make an attack' isn't on the list of actions. It's usually a standard action to use Attack powers, mind you.

I made a small handout for my new players that lists the options available for each of the action types, as well as a what grants Combat Advantage.

The action boxes were intended to be cut out on cardstock to shuffle through when planning out your turn, but it seemed a bit cumbersome with all the cards already on the table.
