The setting of the Running preference may change
the default action of the left-click.
Running
If you press SHIFT and left-click when the movement
cursor is displayed, your character will run to the
desired location using the shortest path available.
This assumes that the Running preference is set to
the default of Normal. If the preference is instead
set to Always, a simple left-click will make your
character run, and you must hold SHIFT and left-click
to make your character walk.
You can always interrupt your character while he
or she is moving with another movement command.
Things that affect movement
If your character has a crippled leg or two, see
Damage (page 131), your character cannot run.
Movement during turn-based combat is limited and
requires the spending of action points. Moving one
hex requires one action point.
Command Cursor
The command cursor is the way of telling your character
to interact with the environment and other people.
Right-click until the command cursor is displayed.
Use this cursor to point to an object or person
that you wish to interact with. If you move the
cursor over an object or person, and let it rest
for a brief moment, an icon will appear next to the
command cursor. This icon will tell you what the
default action is if you left-click the mouse
button while the cursor is over this object or
person. You do not have to wait for the icon to
appear before you click! To perform the default
action, left-click once.
To perform another action instead of the default
action, move the command cursor over an object or
person, and left-click and hold. You must hold the
left mouse button until a list of action icons
appears. One of the action icons will be highlighted.
