For years I've ran this scenario similiar to as such.
Initiative order
PCA: 20
Enemy A: 20
PCB: 14
Enemy B: 14
PCC: 12
PCC could ready their action (in this case we'll say they readied attack), enemy A would trigger the readied action on the new round.
New Initiative order
PCA: 20
PCB: 20
Enemy A: 20
Enemy B: 14
PCC: 12
Now the way i've read the initiative consequences section, his initiative for this round moves to 20, but does this mean that now that his turn has came up this round (as opposed to haven already taken his turn for the round, like if he had used his readied action on EB).
Does he get to take his entire turn now on the new round's initiative 20, except for the standard action he used on the readied attack this round? Or does he do the readied attack action, and end his turn for the entire round?
I've typically ran the former option.
Quote, emphasis mine
Initiative Consequences of Readying: Your initiative result becomes the count on which you took the readied action. If you come to your next action and have not yet performed your readied action, you don't get to take the readied action (though you can ready the same action again). If you take your readied action in the next round, before your regular turn comes up, your initiative count rises to that new point in the order of battle, and you do not get your regular action that round.
