To meet recent requirements regarding modelling the behaviour of a rational agent in a multi-agent system one has to cope with the complexity of actions with typical, but not necessarily certain results. The gen-ric characteristics of these actions is that they have different effects in typical and atypical performances. We model these actions by extending the epistemic/dynamic framework designed to deal with both knowledge and abilities of agents, and with effects of actions they perform.
