It directs the reader to chapter 9 for the rules on rounds... it doesn't tell the reader pick and choose what rules concerning rounds you want to use (which is perfectly reasonable in any particular game but then we're in house ruling territory).Wait... so your characters don't chase people, run from people, swim, climb, etc. because that's all movement and in my game it factors pretty heavily in the exploration pillar...I'm not sure what you mean here... a complex trap could possibly be jammed just by inserting a piece of metal or wood into one of it's gears (literally 3 seconds to do)... and heroes in fiction do stuff like that all the time... Now we're getting into the fiction surrounding the mechanics and that's going to be so variable as to be impossible to nail down conclusively. So you want fighter non-combat ability that is on par with magic... but you also want him to stay in the realm of the mundane of our world.  I explain Action Surge as the fighter having trained and honed his body and mind to react more quickly, push it's strength beyond normal limits and even instinctively perform tasks faster than most normal men can.  But that's me.Well one example is that even if it's not simultaneous it still makes you able, in short bursts, to run faster, swim quicker, climb faster, etc. than almost any other humanoid whose not a fighter.  This allows you to overcome hazards quicker than others.  It also is useful when time is of the essence for certain tasks... you need to both get to your buddy and patch him up before he fails that last death save... I mean how it's used is really up to the player, like any other resource the player controls.</blockquote>
