Really liking what I'm seeing here so far! I'm having a little trouble with the Action list. There's a lot of mixing narrative and combat actions in proximity to each other, which makes sense because some of them can be used in either section, but it makes it a little harder to tell which are "standard" combat options and I feel like there's some organizational logic that I'm not catching on to. Any tips?

Great question! As you pointed out, there's quite a lot of overlap, so there wasn't a single best way to organize the actions to keep the related ones close, but there was some logic to the order!

The actions start with the basic Magic-related actions, like Transform and Breathe and then the commonly-forgotten Help and Hinder. Then we have our Combat Actions including the "standard" combat actions with Defend your Friends through Chase, then we have the more narrative-focus actions ending with the pushed ones. Then the Sorceries, Initiative, and Downtime actions were able to be sorted into their own categories.

The long-term goal is a website where the actions can be sorted by tag, but now that I think about it, there's probably a quick way to use Google Sheets to sort these. I might try and mock something up! Thanks for mentioning this and giving the book a read!

thank you!!

I cooked something up, let me know if you have any feedback or if it does what you'd hope it would! Thanks for the idea!
