Altered Combat Content and Rulings

Combat Actions

• The free action in conjunction with the attack action for a called shot does not reset the Take Aim bonus.
• Barring the use of the Multiple Attack Free Action you cannot take a second offensive action towards another character during your pass. This includes throwing grenades, shooting guns, casting "offensive" spells(recklessly or otherwise), spitting in their cheerios, spiking their tea with arsenic, or anything else that can in any way, shape, or form be construed as a physical or mental attack. You may as an exception use a Free Action to cast disparaging remarks at their mother if you so choose. Final say in this is left up to the GM.

Combat Defense

• While it is arguably not permitted by RAW, for sanity's sake, one is permitted to invoke the "Run For Your Life" interrupt action against missiles, rockets, and grenade launchers, in addition to indirect combat spells, explosive throwing weapon attacks, and any other area of effect attack that they are aware of. It is worth noting that one is generally not going to be aware of direct combat spells, or non-combat spells, to the degree necessary to flee them. A GM may permit you to, but is not required to.
