Let Me Get This Straight: Swift and Immediate Actions


Rules Questions


I can use a Swift Action and an Immediate Action and still get to use a Standard Action in a round. Right?

Did you have a specific scenario in mind ?

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 CAN perform your swift on your turn plus your standard, and as soon as your turn is over, perform an immediate (since it's no longer your turn). That immediate would burn the swift action from your upcoming turn.

Immediate actions take your swift actions. You generally can't do both in the same round. But you still have a standard and move action, as well as your swift.


Thanks, KOA. I'm having a bad brain day (I have trouble processing information sometimes now) and these things I should've known. I thought I was right, and just needed some confirmation.

I'm going to be using several Path of War NPCs as assassins in an upcoming game and I wanted to make sure I had the actions right. Thanks for helping out!

Corset of Delicate Moves lets you take an extra swift in place of a move 1/day.


Nice. I'll take a look at that!
