Fighter Archetypes

• DAILY can be used once per game session, they last for one attack/round unless specified (does not stack with other attacks)
• Encounter can be used once per encounter(roughly needs 2 hr cool down)- these are bonus actions
• Action Chains are bonus attack effects that can be used after a series of two successful actions (attacks or spells) on enemy. No limit to usage (two attacks hit, next round- player can use these special attacks, then resets until 2 more successful attacks: DAILIES count as one attack. 2 weapon fighters must hit on one attack per round, if they hit both- that still only counts as 1 successful attack toward successive attack skills)

Action Chain attacks/effects or daily actions count as a player’s attack for that round.
