Attack Tactic cards

[Lord_Herman]

Dumb question that yesterdat came to our mind while playing.

The tactic cards that grant you a new attack at the moment of playing it, are a free action attack or it consumes 1 of your 2 actions?

[Negoldar]

Cards like Cruelty are a free attack. Cards like Thunderwave require an action to be spent to use the attack. 

[Apologetic]

For future reference, when looking at cards similar to Cruelty and Thunderwave, what specific key words should we look for that would suggest whether or not it counts as an action? My initial guess would be the fact that it's a Reactive vs. Active as a card, but anything to add some certainty would certainly help my understanding.

[Negoldar]

Cards that grant an attack that will require an action will be written like Thunderwave and say the character(s) playing the card may make the attack once this activation.
