What can my summoner do each turn?

Summoners may perform a number of defined tasks each turn.

Some happen naturally unless you wish to disabled them - passive effects. Passive effects happen in addition to all other tasks.

Others may be performed exclusively to other tasks - active orders. Only one active order can normally be performed each turn. Passive effects and additional actions take place in addition to an active order.

Less consuming tasks can be performed alongside other tasks- additional actions.

A mathematical approach to task limits can be calculated as follows:

You may perform no more than 2 task points in a turn.

Passive effects cost 0 task points.

Active orders cost 1.2 task points.

Additional tasks cost 0.4 task points.

Using these numbers, you can see that an active order and two additional tasks may be performed in a turn. Alternatively, up to 5 additional tasks may be performed.

If a rule references task points, it refers to this 2-point limit per turn. Some unique abilities may require a task point cost.
