Contemplating taking the Dazzling Display feat and acting as a buffer / de-buffer for my party.
My question is: let's say I succeed the check but not by more than 5. My opponents are now shaken for 1 round and I have a move action left. Will I actually benefit from my opponents being shaken in the next round? Or does the effect wear off at the start of my next turn?
Need some help here - thanks!
Core Rulebook wrote: "The Combat Round
Each round represents 6 seconds in the game world; there are 10 rounds in a minute of combat. A round normally allows each character involved in a combat situation to act.
Each round's activity begins with the character with the highest initiative result and then proceeds in order. When a character's turn comes up in the initiative sequence, that character performs his entire round's worth of actions. (For exceptions, see Attacks of Opportunity and Special Initiative Actions.)
When the rules refer to a "full round", they usually mean a span of time from a particular initiative count in one round to the same initiative count in the next round. Effects that last a certain number of rounds end just before the same initiative count that they began on."
Hope that helps.
Thanks - based on that I beleive the answer is no. The shaken effect would end just before my next turn... here's top hoping I beat the DC by 5 or more!
Thanks!
