Actions are the primary form of interaction in combat. Typically Actions have an Action Point (AP) cost, but in some cases can have alternative costs such as health or a class-specific resource.
To use an action the user must have requisite Action Points available. Each Class determines their starting action point value and defines the regeneration at the beginning of each turn. The Avatar's Primary Class determines the AP regeneration rate.
Action Points can be restored through a range of gameplay mechanics during combat, often upon fulfilling a certain condition.
An action bar can contain up to 8 Actions. Actions with Cooldown times are represented on the action bar. Actions are locked and cannot be modified once leaving a safe zone such as a town.
When changing Secondary Classes, the Actions unlocked through the Secondary Class are saved, but inaccessible until that secondary class is chosen again.
