Swift Actions

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Core Rulebook

See also: Actions in Combat

Things that require very little time or effort can be accomplished with a Swift Action. Some Actions, Feats, and Talents require one or more Swift Actions to perform. You normally get one Swift Action per round, but you can take a second Swift Action instead of a Standard Action or Move Action, and you can take three Swift Actions in a round if you give up both your Standard Action and Move Action.

Multiple Swift Actions usually have to occur on the same round, or consecutive rounds, and some Actions require that the multiple Swift Actions be consecutive (that is, no other Action interrupts them). This is noted in the Action's description.

Swift Actions include the following:

• Activate an Item
• Aim
• Catch a Second Wind
• Drop an Item
• Fall Prone
• Recover
• Switch Weapon Mode
