Re: Order of multiple Haymakers in same segment

 

If two or more characters make Haymaker attacks on their Phases in the same Segment, in the next Segment those attacks are resolved in the order in which they were begun. Thus, a character who Holds his Action and eventually decides to perform a Haymaker will resolve his attack after one who performed his own Haymaker as soon as possible. Of course, depending on the outcome of the individual Haymakers, the earliest ones resolved may ruin or invalidate the later ones.

 

Example: Galaxia (DEX 25) and Grond (DEX 18) both have a Phase on Segment 6. They’re both fighting Tetsuronin. Both decide to Haymaker their attacks (their Blast and punch, respectively). Assuming they both take their Phases when they occur in the Segment, in Segment 7 Galaxia’s Haymakered Blast is resolved first, since she began performing hers first.

 

However, suppose that Galaxia decided to Hold her Action for some reason and didn’t act until DEX 10. In that case Grond’s Haymaker is resolved first since it was performed first. The fact that Galaxia has a higher DEX doesn’t affect the situation.
