Weapon Actions
Weapon Actions
Weapon Actions are actions that a given weapon can perform, these actions can only be used if the character has the correct weapon type equipped.
Weapon Actions can be granted through a variety of means, such as class, expertise tree perks, or as quest rewards. Skill vendors will also provide a limited supply of class-specific weapon actions, this will scale based on map location since access to map areas can be tuned for various levels and effectively gated by difficulty.
Shared Weapon Actions
Two-Handed Swords, Axes and Blunt weapons use the same pool of actions as their One-Handed variants. In some cases using an action with a two-handed weapon may add a point of Fatigue to the user. Fatigue makes the user's next action cost one additional action point to use.
Dual Wielding
Weapon actions may require dual wielding. The user must be holding two weapons of the same type. The damage calculation considers the damage range of each weapon held.
