[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3749193, member: 710"] Note, the same is true for AoO, except that they only work in meelee. To rationalize such abilities away: It's a pump of adrenaline. The Dragon is reduced to half hp, his body reacts by putting even more adrenaline out, which in case of Dragons also means that he can spit fire again. The Ranger was nearly hit, so his body pumps out a sudden jump of adrenaline, and he uses it (instinctively) to fire a counter attack (if he was hit, the same should have happened, except that the hit means the adrenaline is used for something else...) It's also worth pointing out that the rules don't say that a standard action takes 3.5 seconds, a move action 1.5, a swift 0.30 and a immediate action 0.20 seconds.
