Actions in Combat When you take your action on your turn, you can take one of the actions presented here, an action you gained from your class or a special feature, or an action that you improvise. Many monsters have action options of their own in their stat blocks. When you describe an action not detailed elsewhere in the rules, the GM tells you whether that action is possible and what kind of roll you need to make, if any, to determine success or failure. Attack Action Cast a Spell Dash Action Disengage Action Dodge Action Help Action Hide Action Ready Action Search Action Use an Object Action

Making an Attack Attack Rolls Unseen Attackers and Targets Ranged Attacks Melee Attacks Cover Damage and Healing Injury and the risk of death are constant companions of those who explore fantasy gaming worlds. The thrust of a sword, a well-placed arrow, or a blast of flame from a fireball spell all have the potential to damage, or even kill, the hardiest of creatures.
