Combat
Roll for initiative! No really, that's your first action. In order to start combat you roll 1d20 and add your initiative bonus to it. Whomever has the highest initiative goes first and so on.
If at the start of a players turn, they decide to use a different weapon then what they drew, they can choose to take a -5 penalty to initiative and loose their place by 5 points, if they change to an item or weapon that has less speed than the weapon they currently had, they must also subtract the difference to their initiative check. For example, If you have an Arming Dagger +2 speed, and change to a Greatsword -2 speed, you take the difference -4, and add that to the roll, as well as the flat -5, for a total of -9.
As a reminder, spells, items, and potions all have a speed of +0.
After rolling to hit, Add your Weapon Hit and Weapon PRF bonus to the roll. You then declare how many Prowess Dice you want to roll, and then roll them and add that bonus to the roll.
You can parry once per turn. For every two points of Perception you have, you can parry an additional time.
When you grapple your opponent, you move into their space and share it. Your opponent cannot move and has -4 against all attacks against you. (They also have -4 on all attacks with any weapon that is not a dagger since you share the same space.) Your opponent cannot move on their turns. During their turn, they make attempt to break free as an Attack Action. You cannot parry with a weapon more than 1/2ft long. You may take an unarmed attack or an attack with a dagger without penalties. If you take damage while you're grappling a target, you must make an Endurance saving throw, DC 10 + damage. On a failed save, your opponent breaks free.
Some instances of minor action abilities would be, sheathing a sword, grabbing an item that only requires one hand to hold, kicking a non-locked door open (for dramatic effect of course), etc.
Whenever you use the Item Interaction Action, you may provoke an attack of opportunity, leaving yourself open to an attack. As a reminder, you may still parry or block if you have the correct tools in your hand. If you are making An Item Interaction that would call for a skill check, such as pushing a heavy crate across the room, and you provoke an attack of opportunity, they have +4 to hit on that attack roll. Generally speaking, whenever a skill check is called this way, you will often not be able to parry. (You can still roll to parry and block without a shield in the previous rule)
