* Characters can "dodge" combat damage by moving off the area while the damage is on the stack. This could become a problem, if it is too easy to dodge. However by dodging you are basically giving up the area to your opponent so it could be counter acted by making area control more important. Also the damaging player could "chase" them if it had some way of moving. ([[Target]]ing rules are important for all this.)

Combat is a handled as an implied ability on characters that reads:

Drain: This deals X damage distributed any way among any number of target characters, where X is less than or equal to the character's attack, then this character may move to an area within range 1. Each target character must be assigned at least one damage. This ability has a range of 0. This action is called a combat action.

This is the entire system. The name combat action is only given to allow other cards to treat combat actions specially.
