Soldiers aren’t just nameless men-o’-war. They are ACTION HEROES, obviously. So they do awesome stuff, for a bit.

Create a new dynastic rule called ‘Action Points’, with the following text:

Each Soldier has a number of ‘Action Points’ (abbreviated as AP), tracked in the GNDT. New Soldiers start with 1 AP.

Create a new dynastic rule called ‘Action Movie Stunts’, with the following text:

As a daily action, a Soldier who is not Dead may perform a ‘Stunt Action’ by (in order) spending 1 AP, selecting a Stunt from the Stage Directions (defined in sub-rule ‘Stage Directions’) for which they meet the ‘Prerequisites’, then performing the ‘Results’ of the Stunt.

Create a sub-rule to the dynastic rule ‘Action Movie Stunts’ titled ‘Stage Directions’, with the following text:

Each possible Stunt is a sub-rule of this rule. Each Stunt has the following attributes:

* Name: Text; the title of the sub-rule
* Prerequisites: Text describing conditions that need to be met in order to perform the Stunt. The Soldier attempting to perform the stunt is referenced as the ‘Stuntperson’.
* Results: Text describing what takes place when the Stuntperson performs the Stunt.

Create a sub-rule to the rule ‘Stage Directions’, titled ‘Second Wind’, with the following text:

Prerequisites: The Stuntperson’s Health statistic is below 5.
Results: The Stuntperson’s Health statistic becomes 5.

This is an uninspiring first stunt because there are no combat rules yet. I’m thinking this would be mainly for special combat actions.
