If you dispense with the DEX roll at simultaneous DEX’s and institute some other priority system, e.g., Held Actions, does this also negate the ability to Abort that accompanies the usual simultaneous DEX roll rule?
E.g.
Two characters, Player 1 is Speed 4, Dex 15. Player 2 is Speed 3 Dex 14
On phase 3, Player 1 attempts to hit player 2, who announces an Abort to a Dodge.
On phase 6, Player 1 Holds his action; “I wait until he stops dodging”
On Phase 8, at Dex 14, when player 2 would act (and therefore stop Dodging) , Player 1 decides to strike again.
Rather than commit to Dex rolls, the GM rules that the Held Action has priority.
Does this mean that Player 2’s Dodge Bonus has ended? They’re at DEX 14 but player 2 hasn’t acted yet. I presume so, or there would be no point in Player 1 saying “I wait until he stops Dodging”

At this point is player 2 unable to Abort?
