Immediate action vs. Swift action clarification

[DSRMT]

Hey, don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm just wondering if using an immediate action uses up your swift action for the round, or if they are two separate actions.

The core book states that an immediate action is 'similar to a swift action' and my GM thinks that is enough to say they are similar enough that using one negates use of the other.

What are your thoughts?

Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn. You cannot use another immediate action or a swift action until after your next turn if you have used an immediate action when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using an immediate action before your turn is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn). You also cannot use an immediate action if you are flat-footed.

Your GM is right (Link).

Basically if you use swift action as immediate action on your turn you it uses your swift action. If it happen out of your turn it uses your next swift actions.

So if I use a swift on my turn. My turn ends. Then I can still use an immediate before my next turn using up my swift for the coming turn correct?

Yes super necro! ;)

It gets a little messy later on, when several swift and immediate actions are available, and the choice can be tricky.

The rules work the same though. It's just the choices that get harder. "Do I want to use an immediate action now, or save the action for later?"
