In Ascended, combat is not a sequence of turns. It is pressure unfolding through shared moments of danger, movement, hesitation, and resolve.

The Director’s Board exists to track that living rhythm. Every token placed here represents intention in motion:

• a warrior committing to an attack,

• a spell nearing release,

• a weapon recovering from impact,

• a psionic faculty gathering focus,

• a divine manifestation descending into the world.

The Sequenced Phase counts downward because opportunity narrows with every heartbeat. This board does not decide actions for you. It reveals when they become possible, when they resolve, and when the world answers.

Place your tokens.
Track the flow of conflict.
