When do Immediate Actions Refresh?


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

If you’ve used a swift or immediate action during your turn, when does an immediate action become available to that character again? Is it at the start of his next turn or at the top of the initiative round?


Neither.

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).

I think that only applies to immediate actions used when it is not your turn. An immediate action used on your own turn, is essentially a swift action. You would still have an immediate action available after your current turn, because using the swift action on your current turn doesn't affect the availability of the swift action on your next turn, which is what the out-of-turn immediate action is spending in advance.

I guess?


Immediate action uses up the swift/immediate action on your next turn.
So once that turn is over, you can once again reach forward in time and grab your immediate action from next round :)

So to answer: At the end of your turn it refreshes.
