ACTION ICONS
USE ITEM/GET
Performing this action will attempt to pick up an inventory item (like
a rock), or use a scenery item (like a door). Basically, if the item is
small, it will attempt to add it to your inventory. If you have enough
room in your inventory, the item will be added to the bottom of the
list. If the item is large, you will attempt to manipulate it somehow.
You can get inventory items, loot bodies, and use scenery objects.
ICON DESCRIPTION
EXAMINE
If you want more detail about an object or person, use this action.
You will get a longer description of the item or person, often with
important information (like how much ammo is left in a gun, or how
wounded a person appears to be).
You can examine virtually anything in the game.
USE SKILL ON
To use one of the skills that require your active use, you can select
this action. The skilldex will be displayed and you can select the
skill that you want to use on this item. Some skills are not
available, depending on what the object is that you are using this
action icon on.
You can use this icon on any object that a skill can be used on.
DROP ITEM
Only available in inventory. If you no longer want to carry an item
around, and your inventory is getting a little crowded, then use this
action. It will drop the item at your feet. Use this action carefully. If
you drop an important item, then the game could be lost. It’s
possible to return later and pick the object up, but it’s also possible
that the object will disappear forever.
This obviously only works on inventory items in your inventory.
ROTATE CHARACTER
Your facing can be important. To rotate your character clockwise use
this action. Every click will rotate you one hex-facing. There is no
Action Point cost to use this action in combat.
This action only works on yourself.
