Collaborative Actions

A collaborative action is a single action that is performed by more than one character. To perform a collaborative action, all participating players play as a single character with one of their pairs of Skills and Focus of their choice, gaining one advantage for each participating character after the first. The cards played for the action can come from any of the players participating, but not more than one card per player."E.g. Two or more characters holding a door closed while a huge creature tries to open it to get to them; several characters lifting a hurt companion to get him to safety, etc."A collaborative action must always be a single action. A character opening a door with a kick so his friend can shoot with his bow inside cannot be considered a collaborative action, but two normal actions that need to be well chained together to succeed. The most immediate goal of the action tells us if it is collaborative. In the previous example, the first character’s goal was allowing his friend to perform his action. They do not share the same immediate goal and thus are not considered a collaborative action.
