Contingencies

A further clarification for contingencies is made here. There are many areas left for interpretation when a Norn must allow or disallow a particular contingency action. There are a few helpful guidelines:

• Generally allow only 1 rune chain at any given time in the contingency pile (not counting Dodge defensive meta runes)

• Do not allow a player to leapfrog other players by setting up their main action after the first combatant does something during their Action phase. Contingencies need to be meaningful and have a personal implication. A typically bad example would be “I cast this Alka with 7 Amplifies when that combatant moves (that combatant being the first in initiative, and not being anywhere near the person declaring the contingency).

• When declaring a contingency try and ensure this doesn't create a situation where an attack or spell will be cast during Upkeep. Avoid allowing any triggers which may resolve the contingency action during Upkeep. You do not want Upkeep turning into another Action phase.
