Attacking
- Quick Attack
- A normal attack counts as one quick action. A normal attack can be a strike with a hand weapon or natural weapon, throwing a weapon or firing a bow or gun.
- Aimed Attack
- An aimed attack has a +1 bonus to hit. You may not do an aimed attack while grappling.
- Flanking Attack
- A flanking attack has a +1 bonus to hit. You may not do a flanking attack while grappling.
- Powerful Attack
- A hand to hand attack that does double damage. A couple of normal attacks has a better chance of hitting at least once, but a more powerful attack does damage quickly and hurts larger and armored characters more easily. You must be standing to do a powerful attack.
