Action (Extra)

From D20advanced

ACTION		+1 Modifier/Step

Using an FX requires one of the following types of actions: reaction, free, one, or two actions. Reducing the action required to use an FX is a +1 modifier per step (two actions to one action, for example). An FX’s required action cannot be reduced to none unless the FX is permanent (in which case it is generally automatic). Gamemasters should be cautious about allowing this extra for attack FX. Movement FX cannot take this extra, since the one action required to use a movement FX is part of the character’s normal movement.
