[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 4277962, member: 42582"] No. Some actions are immediate interrupts, which resolve before their triggers. Some actions are immediate reactions, which resolves after their triggers. There are also (as the text from the PHB which I quoted indicates) free actions which are triggered. We are not told whether they are immediate reactions or immeidate interrupts, but let's suppose that they behave like immediate reactions (like readied actions). Bloodied Breath is such an action. It does not occur prior to being bloodied; it occurs after it (so eg the Dragon suffers any penalty to attack from being bloodied that might result from some effect that it is subject to). But, as the text I quoted from the PHB indicates, it would still go between the Crescendo attacks. To requote, with "Dragon/it" substituted in place of "you" and "Ranger" substituted in place of "monster": "An immediate reaction might interrupt other actions a combatant takes after its triggering action. For example, if a power lets a Dragon attack as an immediate reaction when an attack hits it, its action happens before the Ranger that hit it can take any other action. If a Ranger has a power that lets it make two attack rolls against a Dragon as a standard action, and the first one hits, the Dragon can use an immediate reaction before the next attack roll." How much clearer could the rules be? [/QUOTE]
