#222 – House Rules: Holding and Readying Actions

from The Glitterbois

Read transcriptToday's discussion is on a mechanic that doesn't actually exist in the Palladium game rules, but should: how to "hold" or "ready" an action to occur after your initiative order in a combat round. This means we're focusing on our own house rules, with advice on how you might want to handle it in your own games. Drop us a line!
