How actions are processed

These form the machinery for dealing with actions, and are called on at least once every turn. They seldom need to be changed. To change the effect of actions - say, 'taking or dropping something' - write an Instead rule, or something similar: see the Actions index for these. (The rulebooks here are the ones that consult those rules and deal with the results.)
