Flensing Slice the following turn?

[tivadar27]

I wasn't able to find this anywhere else, but the requirements for Flensing Slice are: "Requirements Your last action was a Double Slice, and both attacks hit the target." Can you Double Slice on one turn, end your turn, and assuming you don't take any sort of reaction/free action, then Flensing Slice at the start of your next turn?

This is basically the flip side of the same question as "can I use a metamagic fear to set up for next turn?"

You can find some of that argument here:

Or here

There isn't a universal consensus. Discuss with your GM in advance.

If I recall correctly, you can find similar arguments about Grab.

Thanks, right, I thought I had remembered seeing this debated before but all I could come up with was splitting a spell across turns. I think it was the metamagic discussion. Thanks for the links!

EDIT: Note that the first argument focuses somewhat on the "directly after" wording in metamagic, which doesn't appear for Flensing Slice.

Lots of abilities mention you get an effect if you do something on your turn. Not having that mentioned in my eyes means it can also be the next turn, if still applicable. Like a wolf AC attack and the auto trip after ot hits. Happens, but only if the enemy is still next to it.

Turns in combat are in order to have some structure. It's a game, it needs rules. But have you ever fought someone and said 'OK you take your actions now'? So if it doesn't mention this turn, i'd say follow up in your next turn. And if that can't happen due to circumstances, well, you took that chance, it might pay off, it might not. Nothing unbalanced, I'd say.
