Hello _o/

I stumbled upon conflicting rules in RAW, and hope for a
clarification.

In the action economy as written, i (re)gain my reaction
at the start of the turn:

p469:
"The last step of starting your turn is always the same.
• Regain your 3 actions and 1 reaction."

(it is only assumed that this is also regaining possible additional reactions)

So in general i am able to use this reaction in the timeframe from the end of my
turn to the start of my next turn, and then refresh again, regardless of initiative or round counter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

But now we get this rule on page 472:

"Once your first turn begins, you gain your actions and
reaction. You can use 1 reaction per round."

One round is not defined from my turn to my next turn, but
from the start of the initiative order to the end.
So if i take it by RAW, and use my reaction at the start of the round,
regain my reaction in the middle of the round, i cannot use this reaction in
the rest of the round, until every actor has acted and the round counter advances.

These rules are in conflict with each other. My assumption is that this is
just a bad choice of wording on page 472.

This has already been mentioned here, but not resolved:
