-===== Rules for Taking a Team Action =====+</WRAP>
  
-Team Actions follow the same rules as any other action:+Every Domain is encouraged to include **at least one feature** that enables a Team Action.

-===== Examples of Team Actions =====+Team Actions follow the **normal action rules**:
  
-Here are some examples of how Team Actions might work:+1. Subtract your **Action Load** from the relevant **Aspect**
