[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5962716, member: 6674931"] And where does it say that [I][U]D-Door prevents the mind from continuing to act in given turn[/U][/I]? ...Because all I read is "[COLOR="Lime"][B]After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn.[/B][/COLOR]" This has nothing to do with working minds etc... its just the simple fact the the spell/power does not allow [U]ANY[/U] action, no matter how you get it. Take a look at the following example: Say that I'm a Wizard (or a Psion, and WITHOUT Schism) and that I have just cast/manifested D-Door in the midst of battle. This means that I can take no actions until my next turn. ...but a handful of things can happen until my next turn... and unlucky me... they do! So after I've completed my spell/power, its the bad guys' turn: 1-A warrior attacks me with his bastard sword! -> I defend my self effectively (i'm not Flat-footed). My AC works just fine. I'm not paralyzed, or helpless or anything like that. [My mind works just fine...and in relation to my body as well.] 2-An evil wizard casts Phantasmal Killer on me... and I roll my will save normally in order for my "perfectly working mind" to recognize the image as unreal. 3-Another wizard casts fireball... And I roll my reflex save just the same... in order for my body to evade the deadly flames [Another good example of mind-body coordination] So what we gather from the above examples, is that my mind as well as my body function just fine, even if I'm not allowed to take another action until my next turn. The reason I'm not allowed to take some other action.... is because the spell/power simply works that way. It prevents [U]ANY[/U] action after it, No matter where it comes from... Be that from Schism, from 3.0 Haste, from Celerity (the entire family), Anticipatory Strike or whatever have you... [/QUOTE]
