Re: Tracking Multiple Actions within Extended Contests

Don't forget that Parting Shots, Desperation Stakes, Unrelated actions, Switching Abilities and AP Lending are all in the "Extended Combat Options" section of the rules.

I therefore regard these as being optional rather than part of the core system. If Desperation Stakes don't seem to match the contest's situation don't use them. If Parting Shots seem to subvert the goals of the contest disallow them. If Unrelated actions seem to be a narrow and or poorly defined idea, forget that they exist.

The core Extended Contest rules are very flexible in and of themselves, the optional parts are there to help, if they hinder then their not doing their job.
