Proposal: Swift Getaway

In “Timing {I}”, change

The Participant performing the attempt successfully performed a Heist Action.

to

The Participant performing the attempt successfully performed a Heist Action that was not Swift.

Create a new subrule to “Timing {I}”, named “Focus {I}”, with the following text:

A successfully perfomed Heist Action can be defined by the rules to be Swift; if it is not so defined, it is not Swift. A Heist Action can never be Swift if the previous Heist Action performed by the same Participant was Swift.

Each Participant has a Focus, a publicly tracked number that can be 0, 1, or 2, and defaults to 0.

If a Participant has at least 1 Focus, they can, while attempting to perform a Heist Action, include “(Focus)” in the Dice Roller comment for the attempt. If they do so, and that action is successful, then that action reduces their Focus by 1 (in addition to its other effects) and is Swift.

If there is a rule “The Crew {M}” that contains a paragraph including the word “Driver”, change that paragraph to read as follows:

Driver is a Role. As a Heist Action which is a weekly action, the Driver may “assist in a getaway”. During the twenty-four hours after a Driver successfully assists in a getaway, the first successfully performed Heist Action performed by each Participant on the same team as that Driver is Swift.

A framework for performing “double actions” – a Swift Action doesn’t start the timer, so you can perform a second one immediately, without bypassing the other protections against timing scams. Initially there is no way to gain Focus. This also includes the Driver in the new framework, to prevent it being used for timing scams while retaining the functionality.

“the first successfully performed Heist Action [...] is Swift” - this seems tautological to me, since successful heist actions are already Swift. This would make the Driver do nothing, you might want to remove the “successfully performed”.
