	~~Characters [[MRPG Dual-Wielding\|dual wielding]] weapons may~~ attack ~~once with the off-hand weapon as a free~~ action ~~if they attacked already using the main-hand weapon and the weapon is Normal-sized~~. If the ~~weapon~~ is ~~small, they may attack twice.~~		Casting a spell counts as an attack action. If the spell is slow-cast, it still takes 2 rounds regardless of how many actions the character has available. If the character has an extra attack-action, they may cast an additional spell. This can be either starting a second slow-cast or casting a different fast-cast.

	~~If they are wielding a Large weapon in the off~~-~~hand~~, ~~they must spend 1 additional action to attack with~~ it~~. For a Very Large off-hand the cost is~~ 2 actions. ~~This is in addition to~~ the ~~Size Modifier. '''Example:'''~~

	A character has ~~two Greatswords. They may~~ attack ~~once for 1 action point with the main-hand, and again with the second weapon in the off~~-~~hand as a free~~ action~~. The weapon size is Large~~, so they may ~~attack~~ a ~~third time with the main~~-~~hand for 2 points, and~~ a ~~fourth time with the off~~-~~hand weapon for an additional 3 points.~~

	~~There is no point cost escalation beyond this, a character with 10 actions points could feasibly swing his swords six times per round~~.

	In Mage Wars PnP, every time a player or a unit is the target of a melee or ranged attack(an attack roll is made against them) their Base DV drops by 10 points for the duration of the round.

	*'''Fast Cast:''' A fast-cast spell costs 1 action
	*'''Slow Cast:'''
	**'''From Memory:''' 2 actions
	**'''From Spellbook:''' 4 actions
	*'''Weave:''' Same rules as Slow Cast.

	~~Since a Slow Cast spell may cost more actions per turn than a character has, the character will have to spend multiple turns casting.~~

+Every player gets 1 attack, 1 move, and 1 free action per round. This is the base. Unused actions do not role over per round. Casing a spell counts as an attack action. Using an activated ability counts as a free action. The movement action can also be sacrificed for an additional free action.
-Obtaining additional attacks depends on the character's Speed stat. For every 10 points in speed above 5, the character gains 1 additional attack. The speed requirement is further dependent on the [[MRPG Weapons and Armor#Size|weapon size]].
+A Speed Modifier grants 1 additional free action at mod 2, 3, 5, 8, and every point after 10. ('''E.G.''' a character with SPD 15 would have a mod of 3, granting 2 free actions).
-'''EXAMPLE I:''' A character is wielding a Tanto, or small weapon. To gain 1 additional attack, they must have at least 14 speed(15 - 1).
+Three free actions can be be used to gain 1 additional attack.

			As covered under [[MRPG Weapons and Armor#Size\|weapon size]], the size of a weapon modifies it's attack speed. Regardless of size, the first attack made in every round costs just 1 action. The ability to make a second attack is based on actions and modifier.

			In order to make a second attack, you must have a number of actions equal to 1 + Speed Modifier. For a Medium-sized weapon, this means you would simply need to have 1 remaining action. For a Large weapon, you would need 2 actions. The speed modifier is only the threshold for the first bonus attack.

A character wielding a small weapon may attack two times for each action point spent attacking.

			Ranged Weapons(bows, crossbows, etc) all have some form of ammunition, and thus require some form of reloading. The rules will vary by specific weapon, but assume 1 action per 1 reloaded ammunition. The first shot in a round is free, but additional cost either a move action or a free action for the reload.

			=====Spell Casting=====
			Casting a spell(even on a friendly target) counts as an attack roll or attack action. Therefore, a hybrid class cannot cast a spell and attack with a weapon on the same round. However, all of the same rules as attacking apply, with the exception that spells have no "size" modifier. A mage gains the ability to cast 2 spells per round when they reach Speed 15.

	The playing field is divided into rough 1 inch by 1 inch grid squares, though a mat is not necessary. The squares represent 1 square foot, so the game is played on a 1 inch = 1 foot scale. See [[MPNP Play Field\|Play Fields]] for more information. Each player should have a miniature to represent each character they are playing. The miniature should take up no more than 1x1, unless the player has created a larger character.		The playing field is divided into rough 1 inch by 1 inch grid squares, though a mat is not necessary.

Feel free to fudge the details on this. If someone is squinting at a ruler they're doing it wrong.

	Each character can move a number of grid squares equal to his speed each turn. The first movement is considered a Free Action. Each declared movement after the first costs 1 action. So if a player wishes to run up to one enemy, attack, and then run to another and attack again, they would need a total of 3 actions.
