	;Major Hit with Extra Damage: As a Character levels up, they periodically gain an '''Extra Damage'''. This just means that the Character gets to roll their Weapon's Damage Die again when beating the '''Major Hit's Threshold'''. This acts as if the Character hit the target twice, allowing them to add two Weapon Damage totals together, including Bonus Damage. However, this doesn't include Bonus Effects such as trip, bleed, stunned, etc. A Character can gain more than one Extra Damage status. Each Extra Damage has its own Threshold value. The first Extra Damage Threshold is equal to the Target's AC + 4, the same as a Major Hit. Every Extra Damage has to beat the previous Threshold by the same increment. Example: The opponent's AC is 15, and the Hero is a [[Character_Path#Path_of_Strength_(Strong_Hero)\|Strong Hero]] level 5. He has 1 Extra Damage. If the player rolls a 15, 16, 17, or 18, then the Strong Hero hits the target but only deals normal damage. If the player rolls a 19+, then they get to roll the Weapon's damage dice twice for extra damage. However, no matter how much higher the Player rolls, they only get one Extra Damage at level 5. If the Character was at level 11, and the Player rolls a 23+, then the Player can roll the Weapon's damage dice 3 times.		;Major Hit with Extra Damage: As a Character levels up, they periodically gain an '''Extra Damage'''.

If the Character was at level 11, and the Player rolls a 23+, then the Player can roll the Weapon's damage dice 3 times.

	;Critical Success~~/Failure~~: This is when a '''Natural Twenty''' is rolled. Natural Twenty means the d20 landed on 20. This is considered a Critical Success and automatically hits the target regardless of the actual total. If the ~~Character has Extra Damage~~, ~~then all~~ that is ~~successful as well~~. Some weapons allow ~~for~~ the Critical Range to be adjusted ~~to make~~ it easier to ~~have~~ a Critical Success. Such as 19-20 or 18-20. Weapons have a Critical Multiplier which defaults to x2. If it is not displayed, then it is assumed to be x2. ~~This multiplier determines how many extra times~~ the Damage ~~Die is rolled. A x2 multiplier means~~ the Damage ~~Die is rolled twice~~. When using Extra Damage, the Critical only accounts for the Damage ~~Die of the Normal Hit~~. The Player rolls the d20 again. If the roll is another Critical, then the Damage Die for next Extra Damage is also multiplied. If the Player fails to roll another critical, ~~or even if they roll~~ a 1, ~~nothing negative happens, and the rest of~~ the Extra Damage is ~~rolled as normal~~. A '''Critical Failure''' means that the Character fails to do any damage at all and possibly has another negative side affect the GM can state. Such as you fumble and drop your gun.		;Critical Success: This is when a '''Natural Twenty''' is rolled. Natural Twenty means the d20 landed on 20. This is considered a Critical Success and automatically hits the target regardless of the actual total. This includes dealing more damage with the rule: '''"Role twice and multiply the highest"'''. Ie: If the Weapon is a [[Laser_Pistol\|Laser Pistol]] 1d8+1 (T) 20/x2, that means its damage die is a 1d8, and it is considered a critical hit only if the d20 lands on a 20, and the critical damage multiplier is x2. When the Critical happens, the Player rolls 1d8 twice, takes the higher of the two values, and multiplies it by 2. Then they would add the +1 bonus damage for the total.

			:: '''Note:''': Some weapons allow the Critical Range to be adjusted, making it easier to achieve a Critical Success. Such as 19-20 or 18-20. Weapons have a Critical Multiplier which defaults to x2. If it is not displayed, then it is assumed to be x2. An example of an Weapon that has both its Critical Range and Critical Multipler adjusted. [[Plasma_QCB#Micro_Plasma_Rapid_Pistol\|Micro Plasma Rapid Pistol]] 2d10 (T) 19-20/x3.

			;Critical Success with Major Hits: Major Hits without Extra Damage do not factor into Criticals. If the Character has Extra Damage when they roll a Critical, then consider the Major Damage threshold met for all Extra Damage. When using Extra Damage, the Critical only accounts for the first Damage roll. The Player rolls the d20 again. If the roll is another Critical, then the Damage Die for the next Extra Damage is also multiplied, and so on. If the Player fails to roll another critical, the rest of the Extra Damage rolls are normal and not multiplied. If the player rolls a natural 1, the Extra Damage is ignored.

			;Critical Failure: A '''Critical Failure''' means that the Character fails to do any damage at all and possibly has another negative side affect the GM can state. Such as you fumble and drop your gun.

	== Bonus Actions ==		== Bonus Actions ==

			Bonus Actions are usually earned through performing a successful Standard Action and are meant to represent the Character taking advantage of the momentum of their success to follow through with another of the same action. A Bonus Action is an earned Simple Action option the Player can choose from. Just because a Bonus Action was earned doesn't mean the Player can pick to have the Character perform a different Simple Action. Also, remember that a Character can only perform 1 Simple Action per turn. So this is only possible if the Character hasn't already performed a Simple Action.

	;Bonus Attack Off-Handed/Main Weapon (from Standard Attack): Bonus Attacks happen after a Character earns it through a qualifying action. By default, only the Standard Attack Action grants a Bonus Attack Action. The Character must have a qualified weapon to benefit from a Bonus Attack Action.		;Bonus Attack Off-Handed/Main Weapon (from Standard Attack): Bonus Attacks happen after a Character earns it through a qualifying action.

	Simple Actions can often serve as placeholders for other actions as the Character levels up. For example, reloading is a Standard action unless the Player gains the [[Quick Reload]] feat.

There are many examples of when Simple actions can gain more utility.

	;5-foot step: The 5-foot step is a Simple Move action that is also the declaration of the end of the Character's turn. It must be done as the last action in a Player's Turn for the Group they are in. If a 5ft step removes a Character from a Threat Range, then a Tactical Opportunity still applies. This 5ft step allows you to move a little bit after a Standard Attack. So one can fire and move slightly in one turn.		;5-foot step: The 5-foot step is a Simple Move action that is also the declaration of the end of the Character's turn.
