If a character uses a Swift Action on his/her turn, can a second Swift action be readied through "Readying an Action"?
Background:
-Multiple swift actions can't be taken on a characters turn, but the readying an action section says the turn is over after preparing the action. The second swift action therefore comes after the original turn bypassing this restriction.
-Readying an action uses a standard action, but allows a character to prepare a standard, move, swift, or free action to be taken later. Does the readied action change the type of action being readied from its original form (i.e. its a readied action, not a swift action allowing it to bypass the 1 swift action / turn limit allowing potential for a 3rd swift on the users next turn?
-Can a character ready an action he/she isn't ready/able to do when preparing the action? (Can a PC ready a swift action after they have already used one this turn.) The penalty for not being able to take the action when the trigger occurs is clear, but can they even prepare something they can't be prepared to do "in the moment"?
Note: Brought this over from another thread to generate attention and responses as the last thread had multiple topics and poorly worded title for the conversation.
