Combat in #ttrpg Crucible of Aether is much more flexible and reactive than #dnd.

You have a set of Action Points you can spend on whatever you want - movement, attacks, magic or just feinting so your ally can take advantage of an opening!

A color image depicts a collage of four figures from the Crucible of Aether TTRPG, as well as the logo for the game and a render of the book. A masked figure in rotting wraps and a cloak holds out a blooming flower in their hand. A second figure has green and red tattoos, red hair and blue feathering around their face. A third figure has a metal mask, metal arm and holds a flintlock pistol in one hand. A fourth figure stands in the back with a bat hanging from their harm and a knife in one hand. Their red eyes look to the viewer. Knots of vines and metal cables frame either side of the image.

Years ago someone flipped the wrong switch.

Terrors burst forth.
