Maintain

Type: Action
Cost: Variable (specified by the effect being maintained)

Description:
You focus your attention and energy to maintain an ongoing effect, ability, or gadget that requires active concentration or power to remain active.

Effect:
Choose one effect, ability, or gadget you control that has a duration and requires maintaining. That effect continues for another round (or until the end of your next turn, as specified by the effect). The energy cost to Maintain an effect is specified in the description of that effect, ability, or gadget. You can Maintain multiple different effects, but each requires a separate Maintain action and costs the energy specified by that effect.

Notes:

• If you do not Maintain an effect that requires it, the effect ends at the start of your next turn.
• Some effects may specify they cannot be Maintained, or that they automatically persist without needing to be Maintained.
• You can Maintain an effect even if you are Dazed or Staggered, but you must still pay the energy cost.
• If you become Unconscious or Paralyzed, all effects you are Maintaining immediately end.
