[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6322040, member: 22424"] Presumably, your interpretation of the rules? Well, yes. But neither is actually a difficult case - the rules spell both those out clearly. Suppose we have three combatants: An Orc with initiative 13 A PC with initiative 8 A Goblin with initiative 5 We're in round 2 of the combat. Thus far, nobody has used either Swift or Immediate actions. The Orc's turn comes (init 13). He takes his usual actions. The PC's turn comes (init 8). He takes his usual actions - Standard, Move, Swift. The Goblin's turn comes, during which the PC wants to take an Immediate action. We then enter turn 3. The Orc's turn comes (Init 13). He takes his usual actions. The PC's turn comes (Init 8). He takes a Standard and Move action. He cannot take a Swift or Immediate action - he already took it. The Goblin's turn comes. Now, depending on how you apply the 'window' of the round, the PC either has one Swift/Immediate action per round, or he has two in round 2 and none in round 3. For a similar example, consider attacks of opportunity: Assume we have our same three combatants, that none of them have Combat Reflexes (or similar), and that none of them have used an AoO yet... The Orc's turn comes (Init 13). He does something to provoke, so the PC takes an AoO. The PC then acts (Init 8). Then the Goblin's turn comes (Init 5). He also does something to provoke. Does the PC get to make an AoO? The reason I ask is that the wording of the rule is exactly the same - the PC can make one AoO "per round". If correct, that does definitively answer the question. So... can you provide a cite for that? [/QUOTE]
