[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5244870, member: 71571"] For the matter of dazing during an action... the action is already spent when you start the action. Dazing does not affect a current action because it can't go 'Alright, you have to unspend this current action.' Imagine if I give you ten dollars, charged it to my debit card, and it successfully went through. Now, you have ten dollars, and you hand me a delicious meal. Awesome. Now, let's say, I am eating my meal, and in the middle of it, my bank goes 'Bam, your limit is now five dollars.' I don't regurgitate my meal, give it back to you, and say 'guess I couldn't have spent that five dollars.' But if I were to try to buy dessert? No can do. Not allowed. You -can- complete an action you've already spent. Dazed doesn't reverse time to the point where you spend the action. You need an interrupt to do that. In the case of the harpy, the screech hits, and you just continue on with the current action. You don't get another action after that however. That kinda sucks to be you. You DID roll your monster knowledge check to know harpies do that when bloodied, right? [/QUOTE]
