Bewildering Koan. Need official Clarification


Rules Questions


The RAW for Bewildering Koan says "loose next action"
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/bewildering-koan-general/

However, in this thread, the author, Sean K Reynolds says that RAI is "loose next turn"

There needs to be official Developer clarification on this issue.

Thanks

Well, if they haven't made a clarification in the last 7 years, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for one...

That being said, losing your next turn is the only reasonable interpretation I can see: Otherwise, victims will just try to take a free action (Ah, I was so confused I couldn't spit at my opponent this turn, but I can still take a full attack and use a swift ability...)

It just goes to show that the Thesaurus is perhaps the most troublesome of the dinosaurs...

That post was official at the time

So I doubt we will see a FAQ because there isn't a lot of confusion.

If you are the GM, use that.
If you are a player, show your GM that.
Solved.

The issue is, that Sean K Reynolds is not a Dev and only Dev posts count as official.

SKR was a dev at the time, and the voice of the design team on FAQs, so that IS a dev post. They have since made an official account to prevent just this sort of confusion.
