Holding a Phase question

[hammersickle59]

Can you perform a zero phase action and then hold your entire phase? You would think you can since you can perform a half phase then hold a half phase.

 

Further more...can you do this? Speed 4 (3,6,9,12)

 

Phase 12 - Perform Zero Phase, hold entire phase

Phase 1 - Perform zero phase, hold entire phase

phase 2 - perform full phase

phase 3 - perform full phase

 

I think you can do this.....thoughts? its actually not that powerful considering that zero phase actions are never attack actions.

I've allowed people to "power up" and then wait and watch, so: my answer is yes.

Oh heck yes.

 

You can also perform a 1/2 Phase Action and Hold the other half. Like move forward into position and then Hold waiting on others actions before going.

Well, this comes down to what you consider your phase. You can only perform zero phase actions ON your phase. Arguably if you delay your phase then you can't take a zero phase action until you start it.

 

Generally switching on a power and waiting is no biggie, so most GMs would allow it.

Problem is when you do the ol' "mental command" Trigger schtick. Then you get to attack every Segment, while still getting your normal allotment of actions.

 

'Course, it'd wouldn't slip by any GM worth his salt. =)
