====== SALVAGE SPACE: ACTIONS IN COMBAT ======

If a fight breaks out, Adventurers have moments to act or react.

Some of the choices include:

☐ **TAUNT** \\
Adventurers may improve their situation by intentionally angering or distracting the opposition.

☐ **PARLEY** \\ 		
Adventurers may attempt to de-escalate the violence by calling for peace or negotiation.

☐ **MOVE** \\
The opposition calls Adventurers who stand still in a fight by the name "target."

☐ **DROP PRONE** \\
Adventurers surprised or under fire may drop to the ground to present a smaller target area.

☐ **CRAWL** \\
Adventurers may keep slowly moving by crawling while prone which may allow more effectively using low cover such as short walls or vehicle bodies.

☐ **GET UP** \\
Adventurers who need to move more quickly than a crawl must first get to their feet.

☐ **WALK** \\
Moving slowly, perhaps to patrol an area, minimize motion to reduce chance of detection, avoid making excessive noise, or allow enough time to carefully scan a battlefield while devising strategy or tactics.

☐ **RUN** \\
Sometimes, Adventurers need to move as quickly as possible without taking time to aim or attack. 

☐ **DODGE** \\
Adventurers may have time to avoid incoming slow attacks from hand weapons or vehicles by getting out of the way.

☐ **RETREAT** \\
Adventurers in a losing situation may work to disengage from combat through a careful retreat.

☐ **FLEE** \\
When panic overwhelms logic and reason, sometimes Adventurers or their opponents simply head for the safest place possible.

☐ **DRAW WEAPON** \\
Adventurers or their opponents must ready their weapons before they can use them.

☐ **RELOAD** \\
Adventurers must monitor their weapon's ammunition levels and reload as necessary to continue using the weapon.

☐ **SHEATHE / HOLSTER WEAPON** \\
Adventurers may pull or return a weapon to its carrier.

☐ **AID ANOTHER** \\
Adventurers may stop attacking to help others instead such as helping move, provide first aid, or assist with repairs.

☐ **USE ITEM** \\
Adventurers may setup, use, or tear down equipment.

☐ **USE SKILL** \\
Adventurers may take advantage of a trained skill rather than attack.

☐ **USE SPECIAL EFFECT ABILITY** \\
Adventurers may prepare or activate a Special Effect (SFX) such as magical spell, power, or psionic ability.

☐ **UNARMED HAND-TO-HAND** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may simply brawl with an opponent near them.

☐ **ATTACK** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may simply attack using fingers as claws, fists, feet, elbows, knees, or even their teeth.

☐ **BLOCK** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may try to deflect hand-to-hand attacks using their own arms, legs, or shields rather than attempt to dodge.

☐ **BOXING** \\
Adventurers or their opponents trained in boxing may use that training for specialized hand-to-hand attacks and defense.

☐ **WRESTLING** \\
Adventurers or their opponents trained in wrestling may use that training's movements to grapple, trap, or pin opponents.

☐ **MARTIAL ARTS** \\
Adventurers or their opponents specializing in martial arts forms may use that training to shape hand-to-hand combat.

☐ **ARMED HAND-TO-HAND** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may reach for a hand weapon rather than rely solely on their fists, feet, elbows, and knees.

☐ **THROWING WEAPONS** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may choose to attack those outside of arms' reach by throwing projectile weapons such as rocks, knives, or explosives such as grenades.

☐ **ARCHERY** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may attack from a distance using drawn bows and arrows of many types.

☐ **SHOOTING FIREARMS** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may attack from a great distance using firearms, mortars, or missiles.

☐ **AIM** \\
Adventurers or their opponents may improve the accuracy of their ranged attacks by spending additional time to aim rather than fire snap shots.
