When do presence attacks happen? It seems assumed that they generally can happen at the begining of a segment since one of the results allows the sucessful character to go first in spite of DEX. For example in a duel that begins on Segment 12 it might be the very first thing to occur as the Heroes attempt to gain an advantage over the Villians. Since this type of attack has nothing to do with DEX it seems plausible it could be done before DEX rolls. Would one wait to see the results of the DEX roll in the case of Hero and Villian operating in the same segment?
Ex. Wyatt Earp beats Doc Holiday to Oak Grove and faces down Johnny Ringo in a duel. Johnny Ringo outclasses Wyatt in DEX and would probably win the DEX roll to see who goes first. However Wyatt does have a fearsome reputation and would like to try to intimidate Johnny to prevent him from putting a lead bean in his noggin. "Go ahead Ringo, skin that smokewagon and see what happens..."
