🗡️ Action Cards

Action Cards represent the core actions a character may perform during their turn.

They are designed to provide:

• Quick reference during play
  
  

• Clear Action Cost
  
  

• Noise generation value
  
  

• Description and special rules
  
  

• Immediate clarity without needing to consult the Rulebook
  
  

Each Action Card includes:

• Action Cost (how many Actions it consumes)
  
  

• Noise Value (how much Noise it generates)
  
  

• Description
  
  

• Restrictions or Special Rules
  
  

📜 How Action Cards Work

• During the Player Phase, the player may perform actions equal to their available Action Points (AP).
  
  

• Each action requires the player to spend the number of Actions shown on the card.
  
  

• Noise generated is immediately added to the current Noise value of the scenario.
  
  

• Some actions may trigger enemy reactions or event checks.
  
  

Enemies do not use Action Cards.
Enemies follow scripted behavior logic defined in their scenario or behavior table.

🧭 Example: ACTION – MOVE

Action Cost: 1
Noise: 0

Description:
Move up to your MOV stat value.
You cannot move through enemy miniatures or terrain classified as Blocked.

Rules:

• Movement must follow terrain restrictions.
  
  

• Cannot pass through High Terrain unless a specific ability allows it.
  
  

• Movement can be interrupted by reactions or triggered effects.
