Each turn a creature has two options each half-round:1. Take a normal action.2. Move or use a bonus action. You can use a bonus action that your last turn may have triggered (e.g., off hand attack with two weapon fighting).Finally, some additional rules:1. Half-rounds are 3 seconds.2. You can't do the same thing two turns in a row, with some exceptions (e.g., a Rogue can move and the next turn move as a bonus action, taking the Dash action is different than moving, attacking with an off-hand weapon as a bonus action, etc.). That is to say, you can't have two half-rounds do more than what you could normally do with a full round. The opposite might be true, so you might be able to do more in a round than you can in two half-rounds.3. You only get one reaction and one free object interaction every two half-rounds.4. Spells that last a number of rounds last twice as many half-rounds.This is way, way, way to fiddly for more than two participants in a battle, but if you've got exactly two characters it might be more interesting to see how that plays out.There's a decent chance this really doesn't work well at all, but it sounds interesting.</blockquote>
