Besides the obvious, like moving, Take Cover, Bon Mot, and Raise Shield, what are your favourite things to do with your third action?

Whether it's an option that can apply to a wide variety of characters or requires a very specific niche build.

Feinting or Demoralising as a first action are pretty good, you can only demorilise each enemy once per combat though. Also, you say moving is obvious, but you mean approaching the enemy? Because attacking twice and then moving away can be a good way to not get hit or making a boss waste an action (though beware attacks of opportunity, in which case step exists).

Approach, move away, move into a flanking position; there are a lot of different ways to get an advantage by movement, and I intended to encompass all of them.
