Time Stop + Delay Action


Rules Questions


On one of your extra turns during time stop, can you choose to take a delay action to drop your initiative by 1 and act after time stop ends?

Delay:
Special Initiative Actions
Here are ways to change when you act during combat by altering your place in the initiative order.

Delay
By choosing to delay, you take no action and then act normally on whatever initiative count you decide to act. When you delay, you voluntarily reduce your own initiative result for the rest of the combat. When your new, lower initiative count comes up later in the same round, you can act normally. You can specify this new initiative result or just wait until some time later in the round and act then, thus fixing your new initiative count at that point.

Technically I think you can take a delayed action during the Time Stop, but then you'd lose it when you come out of the Time Stop because you've already taken an action this round.

After all, when Time Stop ends you return to a round in which you have use a standard action to cast Time Stop. So during that round delay isn't a valid action.


Thanks I think I understand how it works better now.
