Liberating Command VS MAP

If I've made Strikes or Escape attempts on my turn, then an ally casts liberating command to allow me to Escape as a reaction pn their turn, do I incur the MAP from my earlier attacks?

What if they cast it a second time on their turn (and I somehow had an extra reaction), would it incur a penalty then?

The multiple attack penalty applies only during your turn, so you don't have to keep track of it if you can perform a Reactive Strike or a similar reaction that lets you make a Strike on someone else's turn.

Strike is just an example. Other Attack trait actions such as Escape would follow the same rule.

No you would not take a MAP penalty on Escape actions that you make as a reaction or free action when not your turn. No matter how many of them you (somehow) make during one round.

Thanks! I remembered it mentioned Strikes and was wondering if that rule only applied to Strikes.

That clears things up nicely.

The only exception is if you Ready an attack action, then MAP carries over (otherwise that +5 would lead to lots of Readied 2nd attacks).
