Action Chain Chart

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) see chart below
