[QUOTE="Joren, post: 899469, member: 1959"] Actually, the dragon has to wait for 1d4 [b]rounds[/b], not turns. This is an important distinction. [i]See[/i] Murdoxx's quote from the SRD showing the distinction between a round and a turn (about four posts above) Given what you have stated, my question is: Does "Wait until your next round" = "wait one round"? I believe it does, for the reasons I stated above. I believe that you do not agree, but I am not clear why you draw this distinction. This encapsulates what I was trying to point out. All characters "wait" one round between actions, simply by virtue of the fact that they have a limited ability to act in Round 1, and must "wait until [their] next turn." (This argument mixes the use of "round" and "turn" together, but I didn't want to misquote you.) I think I understand where we are not agreeing on definitions. I believe that you are defining "a full round" to equal "All of one complete round, starting from the top of the initiative". In other words, all combats start with Round 1, and proceed to Round 2, Round 3, etc. Under that definition, in order for the dragon to "wait one round", his "waiting" begins at the top of the initiative of the round [i]after[/i] he breathes and finishes at the end of that round. In contrast, I (and Pielorinho) are defining "wait one round" to mean "wait all of one round, starting from the end of initiative X in Round 1 to the end of initative X in Round 2." This definition is consistent with the definition of a "full round spell," which is why Pielorinho was using the "full round spell" example to illustrate his definition. Under our definition of "wait one round," the dragon can breathe in consecutive rounds as long as his initative in round 2 is lower than his initiative in round 1. Under your definition of "wait one round," the dragon spends the time from the end of X in round 1 through the start of X in round 3 waiting (or doing something other than breathing). Does this help clarify the disagreement, kreynolds? Joren the Divider [/QUOTE]
