====== BAP Cost ======

Combat time in [[Chivalry & Sorcery]] is measure in [[Basic Action Points]] (BAPs). Each [[combat round]] a character gains a number of BAPs based upon several factors, some of these are calculated during character design and others are based upon the current state of the character and their environment.


====== Skill Reduction ======

As a character gains skill they are able to reduce the number of BAPs it takes to perform an action. This is different from performing a hurried action in that this is the character taking the full amount of time to perform the action. All fractions are **rounded off** to the nearest whole number. These reductions are only used for actions that are based upon a skill. These reductions can **never reduce an action below a cost of 1 BAP**.

|  21 - 40  |  90% |
|  41 - 60  |  80% |
|  61 - 80  |  70% |
|  81 - 100  |  60% |
|  >= 101  |  50% |
