9 This document outlines the Finite State Machine infrastructure inherent to the Player Character. It contains and defines:
10
11 * Player States & Overarching Architecture
12 * State Transitions
13 * State Actions
14
15 The player's Finite State machine defines the states and capabilities of the Player Character within the game. Each state is self-contained, and can be transitioned to when certain conditions are met. The state capabilities, transition requirements, and relations to one another are defined within this document.
