Held Actions.

[Balabanto]

P 363

 

Which of these interpretations is correct?

 

When one person is holding an action, and one is not, the person holding an action gets to go prior to any action taken by the person he is trying to act before.

 

Regardless of how many people are holding actions and who aren't, any attempt to interrupt an action using a held requires a DEX roll.

Re: Held Actions.

 

The second reading is the way the rules read — if two or more characters try to perform an Action at the same time, they have to make DEX Rolls to see who goes first, even if one’s Holding his Action and one’s not. However, it’s certainly within the GM’s purview to let the character with the Held Action go first automatically, if that seems appropriate.
