In the game FuturePath, there are all sorts of different encounters that the party or individual characters can get into. The most common is [[Combat]], but there are other situations, such as attempting to negotiate with another NPC, chasing down an enemy.

			Here is a list of the main types of encounters that have additional structure and rules. Sometimes, a GM may just want an encounter to be simple and quick, and thus, it is up to the GM whether or not all the encounter rules below are followed for all encounters. Also, these fit common circumstances that Players may encounter while playing most TTRPGs, and this is not meant to be an exhaustive list or to restrict gameplay in any way.

	Combat turns are based on Team Initiative. Each team is split into two groups: the Vanguard and the Rearguard. The Vanguard has the faster initiative characters, while the Rearguard has the slower ones. Each round, the team with the higher Initiative has its Vanguard go first, and then the other team's Vanguard, then the first team's Rearguard, and lastly the second team's Rearguard. Groups go at the same time. So all players within the Vanguard declare their actions before rolling to determine ~~the success of~~ the group action and ~~its~~ outcome. The Characters can perform actions like Attack or Move. Each round represents 3 seconds, and they can perform 1 Simple, 1 Standard, and a Free Action. Some Standard Actions grant Bonus Actions that take the place of a Simple action.		Combat turns are based on Team Initiative. Each team is split into two groups: the Vanguard and the Rearguard.
