A hero may choose to wait and see what happens by going on “Hold.” This allows her to resolve her turn later in the round if she wishes, and lasts until it’s used.
If a character is on Hold when a new round begins, she’s not dealt a new
Action Card but can go at any point in the round she chooses.
(Discard her current card and mark her as “On Hold” with a counter of some sort.)
Shaken and Stunned
If a character is
Shaken or Stunned while on Hold, she immediately loses her Hold status and her turn for the round. (Shaken or Stunned characters can’t go on Hold either.)
Interrupting Actions:
If a character on Hold wants to interrupt an action (including a rival who was also on Hold), she and the opponent make opposed Athletics rolls. Whoever rolls highest goes first. In the rare case of a tie, the actions are simultaneous.
If the character interrupting fails, she loses her Hold status but gets a turn after the foe finishes his. She may take whatever actions she wishes when her turn comes up—she’s not locked into whatever she was trying to do when she failed to interrupt.
