Could I get a more detailed explanation on how 'prepped attacks' function in RP combat?[@MelonHead][@Skallagrim]

1. Any attack can be prepped, it requires you to mention your character 'preparing' an action in the previous post, though this usually refers to a magical spell, there's no reason why one couldn't take time with a shot, or pull the pin of a grenade, or a similar act to show that prior thought went into a future attack.

2. It should be visible, both in an OOC and an IC sense, to your opponent.

3. It comes with the price of either a lack of concentration or a pre-emptive warning to your opponent to dodge, simple attacks may be launched at the same time, but you certainly couldn't unleash complex magic or prep another ability simultaneously.

4. Being hit removes the most recent prep.

5. A prepped attack supercedes an unprepped defense, so upon landing it causes some damage, which increases depending on the number of prep turns that went into an attack.

6. Only one attack can be prepped at a time.

7. Defenses may be prepped in the same fashion.

There's probably more, but those are some of the fundamentals in regards to preps. Many of these things are flexible and may be changed to suit different contexts.
