Attack as active action

[Pavlovian 0]

Hey all

 

I have a question about attacking, more specifically about multiple attacks.

You gain an additional attack that you can use as regular attack or counterattack if you have enough Attack score (100,200, etc.). Each attack takes a -25 penalty per additional attack after first (two attacks: both 25; three attacks: all 50, etc...) that stacks with the multiple attack penalty. If you make your attacks on the second active action that turn, and make two attacks, all have -50 for example.

But I have a few questions:

a) Is each attack a separate active action, or are all attacks considered one active action. If I run to an opponent, make two attacks because 100+ Attack Score, and then try to cast Invisibility on myself, are that 4 active actions or 3?

b) If I get attacked before my turn, and declare I will perform two attacks, can I counterattack once and still perform my second attack during my turn? Or do I lose that second attack if I only get to counter once?

That is pretty much it.  There are other ways to get extra attacks, but active action means that you have to do it on your turn in initiative.  So if you want to take two attacks you have to do so as you roll initiative.  Then if you get a counter attack option you may then use one of your counter attacks that you declared earlier out of turn to attack the enemy that you just blocked or dodged.

Counter attack does not grant you an extra attack, it just lets you attack out of turn.

Ok, thanks for the speedy answer.

I am studying the rules at the moment. My first session went great, except that sometimes I had to rule on things not knowing if I was right, because I could not find the rules. I was wrong sometimes...

Next Friday, I am going to have a nice quick sheet to check rules.
