both confused and frightened, or similar conflicts in compelled action

[Covert Operator]

If a character have two effects that force them to act a certain way, then how do they actually act?

"A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight."

"Roll on the following table at the beginning of each confused subject's turn each round to see what the subject does in that round. A confused creature who can't carry out the indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently."

You can read the text of conditions here. There are many other effects that compel action in similar ways.

i would say the last take effect over the former for as long as both duration still apply. so if some1 was frightened and then got confused he acts confused and if he was confused and then got frightened he acts frightened.

with the following added that if anyone of them allow him to 'act normally' then the other effect will take place. (so scared turned confused won't 'snap back' if he roll to act normally)
