[QUOTE="Stacie GmrGrl, post: 5073846, member: 86279"] For spellcasting, the act of casting a spell, if its a standard action, would take a standard action tick speed. For multiple attacks, create a Flurry action, give different weapons different attack rates and when using that weapon you can only flurry up to the weapons attack rate. A single attack could be 4 ticks...a Flurry action could be 6 ticks, and each attack in the flurry could be at a -2 incremental penalty to successive attacks. -2 to first, -4 to second, -6 to third, etc. And the tick system would work in an incremental fashion. If you go on tick 3, and you do a 5 tick action, you go again on tick 8. You do a tick 4 action, then you move to tick 12, you delay and go to tick 13, then you do a full charge which could be 5 ticks, and move to tick 18 for your next action. Maybe some attacks can be quicker, but do less damage. Or, you take a higher tick speed action, but it does more damage. Interrupting casting...take the Delay Action, which delays you a ticks, but during those ticks your delaying, waiting for an opening, and then on a later tick you can act and interrupt another action, like somebody casting a spell. Conditions that effect it also. Let's say being stunned causes a tick 3 penalty, so if you would have gone on tick 9, now you go on tick 12 to simulate being stunned and dazed. This can probably be followed up by a chain of attacks...first you stun somebody, then if you attack them in their stun state (from tick 10 to 11), you can do a follow up action that gets a bonus off that stun state. Maybe it does more damage, or its easier to perform other actions, like grapples and tripss and disarms. [/QUOTE]
