The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character."This does NOT state that the action goes AFTER a swift action, it states it goes before it.This does NOT state that the action does NOT interrupt the other character's action if the trigger is a swift action.When combined with the Concentration rule:"Distraction: Damaged during the action.²Footnote:²Such as during the casting of a spell with a casting time of 1 round or more, or the execution of an activity that takes more than a single full-round action (such as Disable Device). Also, damage stemming from an attack of opportunity or readied attack made in response to the spell being cast (for spells with a casting time of 1 action) or the action being taken (for activities requiring no more than a full-round action)."According to this, you do go before the Quickened spell, you do interrupt that spell, but any damage you do does not force a concentration roll.When combined with the normal rules, this is a little bogus in that you cannot disrupt a quickened spell with damage. You can interrupt it, but the damage is irrelevant unless you do enough damage to make the character go unconscious, in which case the quickened spell does not happen.Course, without Improved Feint, it is typically irrelevant. You can feint and cast a swift spell, but you cannot feint and cast a one action spell (without Improved Feint).</blockquote>
