Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crazy Jerome" data-source="post: 5774043" data-attributes="member: 54877">This is my preference, with two or three different types of "move" actions possible (some form of shift, a regular move, and a faster one, each with benefits and drawbacks). There is only one "attack" action type, which is also used for any spells that are aimed at enemies. Then you qualify it that a creature cannot take the same action twice in the same round, no exceptions. "Attacks" that are described as multiple swings of weapons or multiple weapons would be single attacks with slightly different properties (i.e. ability to spread damage over targets), but still balanced as a single attack.  Depending upon how you design abilities, that might mean that certain defensive, utility, healing, etc. which required no attack roll could be used in conjunction with an attack. It's a change from the feel of standard D&D usually, but I think I'd rather prefer it to calling out X as minor and Y as always standard. When things like "haste" add an action, the restricton on repeating an action is still kept. However, doing that, I'd like to find a way to mainly kill the reactions as well. Basically, I see the push for "get an extra attack somehow"  as overly obsessive simulation which has never yet failed to massively screw up the balance that the designers intended, and should be buried deep with a stake through its heart, burned, drowned in holy water, ringed in explosive runes, imprisoned, "wished" into the past, and then systematically wiped from the memory of every living entity in the multiverse.  If I get really cranked up, I might really tell you how I feel about it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
