            Basic order of initiatives

A Turn

A turn is comprised of a character’s possible actions, which is limited by the characters Actions attribute. At any time of a player’s choice or after a character has used all possible actions, play proceeds to the next initiative. If the character at the next initiative is dead, skip that initiative and move on to the next.

A Round

Each round consists of initiatives equal to the total amount of characters in the game. Each round starts with initiative 1. The character with that initiative takes a turn. 

A Cycle

A cycle comes into play when a spell or ability causes a status effect that lasts for one or multiple cycles. A single cycle effect begins immediately when that spell or ability is used and ends at the beginning of the caster or users next turn.

A Game

A game begins the moment the first character takes an action and ends when the kill die reaches zero. When the kill die reaches zero, the game ends IMMEDIATELY! Neither Characters or Monsters are not allowed to take any further actions.
