In the Core, the feat Shatter Defenses mentions that any shaken, etc., foe is flat-footed to your attacks "this round [...] until the end of your next turn. This includes any additional attacks you make this round [emphasis added]" (133).
1. Does "this round" mean any round the foe is shaken, frightened, or panicked -- or just for one round? Which round would this be? When can I shatter the foe's defenses again, or is it only once per combat?
2. If I use Dazzling Display, another feat from the Core, and every foe that sees me fails against my Intimidate, are they all susceptible to my Shatter Defenses until their shaken wears off, or do I just have one round?
Thanks for the help.
Just for reference:
Shatter Defenses (Combat)
Your skill with your chosen weapon leaves opponents unable to defend themselves if you strike them when their defenses are already compromised.Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Dazzling Display, base attack bonus +6, proficiency with weapon.
Benefit: Any shaken, frightened, or panicked opponent hit by you this round is flat-footed to your attacks until the end of your next turn. This includes any additional attacks you make this round.
1. It means any round in which you have already hit the shaken, etc. opponent. The idea is that you hit once, he is flat-footed to the rest of your attacks this round (say, if you're doing a full attack) AND to all your attacks next round.
2. Yup, they're all susceptible until shaken wears off.
