Striding and Striking

Parent page Attack Rolls

Two of the simplest and most common actions you’ll use in combat are Stride and Strike, described in full on page 471.

Stride is an action that has the move trait and that allows you to move a number of feet up to your Speed. You’ll often need to Stride multiple times to reach a foe who’s far away or to run from danger! Move actions can often trigger reactions or free actions. However, unlike other actions, a move action can trigger reactions not only when you first use the action, but also for every 5 feet you move during that action, as described on page 474. The Step action (page 471) lets you move without triggering reactions, but only 5 feet.

Strike is an action that has the attack trait and that allows you to attack with a weapon you’re wielding or an unarmed attack (such as a fist).
