Roundtime
Roundtime generally occurs when a character performs an action that takes more than a second or so to do. While in roundtime, a character is unable to perform a vast number of actions such as movement, participating in combat, casting of spells and more. Roundtime is measured in seconds.
Roundtime incurred by intensely physical actions (such as participating in combat) may be increaded due to encumberance, while roundtime incurred by less physical actions (such as the use of healing herbs or enchanting potions or the casting of certain spells) may be static regardless of encumberance.
