We've already seen a similar example in another article.      Here we've got two examples of what triggers an Immediate Action. Getting reduced to half your HP, and getting flanked. It's also apparent that you only get one Immediate Action per round and, most tellingly, you get it on your opponents turn. Much like what our friend Heron did to the goblin.    I don't think the language that Chris Sims chose is a mistake. What Heron did, firing an arrow at the goblin on the goblins turn, before firing two more arrows on his own turn, was another example of an Immediate Action. Had Tian been adjacent to a goblin when his hp was knocked down to half, then we may've seen him getting an Immediate Action allowing him to attack, much like how the dragon was able to attack as an Immediate Action when it was reduced to less then half hp (Unfortunately for him, he didn't appear to have a ranged weapon readied, and none of the monsters were adjacent when he got hit with that javelin).</blockquote>
