Does anyone have a link to an alphabetical list of Words of Power? I've tried searching to no avail.

Would a character who was dazed before his/her turn in the initiative sequence (in the first round of combat) be considered flat-footed until the dazed condition wears off?

Dazed: The creature is unable to act normally. A dazed
creature can take no actions, but has no penalty to AC.
A dazed condition typically lasts 1 round.

Flat-Footed: A character who has not yet acted during
a combat is flat-footed, unable to react normally to the
situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus
to AC (if any) and cannot make attacks of opportunity.

Specifically, in the wording of the two conditions. ..."can take no actions"..., and ..."has not yet acted during combat is flat-footed..."

Thoughts, opinions, clarifications?

This is a situation that came up recently while GMing the Pathfinder Module "Crypt of the Everflame."

A character's strength was reduced to the point where he was in his "heavy load," which imposes a "check penalty." The Core Rulebook says:

Like armor, a character’s load affects his maximum Dexterity
bonus to AC, carries a check penalty (which works like
an armor check penalty)...

(Additional Rules: Carrying Capacity, Page 169)

Now, a character who is not proficient with armor takes double the armors check penalty to their attack rolls. Does this mean that a character who is in their heavy load takes -12 (double the check penalty of -6) to their attack rolls?

Does this sound right, or is there an errata, or thread somewhere that addresses this?
