[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2721363, member: 2011"] This is incorrect. From the Wizards site: This portion is only relevant to using an immediate action on your turn. That is not what is occurring in the bathhouse scene, so we continue on: This is the relevant text. So, in a two on two situation: Assassin does Coup De Grace Round One: Psion does Resilience (using up the immediate action of her next turn) Psion does power on Round One, cannot do immediate action or swift action during her turn It is now [b]after[/b] the psions turn, so the immediate action immediately resets. Assassin does Coup De Grace Round Two: Psion does Resiliance Psion does power on Round Two, cannot do immediate action or swift action during her turn Rinse and Repeat. You are always using up your next Swift Action (which only occurs on a character's turn) with your current Immediate Action, regardless of whether you do that Immediate Action before your turn or during your turn. Once a character's turn is over, the immediate action immediately resets in order to allow him to use up the Swift Action of the next turn. Unlike normal actions that effectively reset at the start of the character's turn, immediate actions reset after the end of the character's turn. If you assumed that they could only reset at the start of the turn like other actions, it is understandable that you would think that you could only get in one immediate action outside your turn every other round. But, this is not what the text states. [/QUOTE]
