I'm going to play a Bones Mystery Oracle that will focus on debuffing the enemies, so I thought taking the Dazzling Display feat and the Wasting Curse would fit nicely.
However, as someone who prefers to play spellcasters in D&D 3.5 the question sprang to mind what happens if the character takes damage while using the feat. It's a full-round action after all.
I'm new to Pathfinder and I didn't find anything in either the skill description nor the feat text. So can I just assume that nothing interrupts the display as long as the character is still alive/conscious, not in grapple nor disarmed after the attack? Are there any other condition you should take into consideration? It seems reasonable to rule that the display does not have any effect if you're knocked prone while posing in such a manner, but there seems to be no rules covering that either.
EDIT: I intended to post this in the Rules Question section. Is there any way I move this thread? :-/

A full round action is not a one round action.
A full round action uses your standard and move action and completes the same round it begins unless you split it across two rounds as both standard actions.
Non-spell actions are completely unaffected by taking damage unless the action description specifies otherwise.

Ah, thank you! That clears a whole lot up :)
(The group I learned to play D&D in, used the terms somewhat mixed, so I avoided anything with full-round actions ever since.)
But now I have a follow-up question: You didn't mention the swift actions. Does that mean that you take a full-round action plus a swift action (in addition to the usual 5-foot step plus free actions) on your turn?
