Your Next

[The Total Package]

Looking at this Rogue feat, if your legendary and you reduce multiple foes to 0hp that turn, would you be able to use Your Next multiple times as a Free Action against other enemies on the battlefield?

[Blave]

No, you can only use one free action per trigger.

Misread the question. Ignore me. Kyrand below is correct.

[Kyrand]

Yes, once per enemy you reduce to 0 (dropping multiple in the same actions/activity doesn't let you trigger it more than once for that action/activity, though).

[The Total Package]

Ohh, so if I use Massacre and kill three enemies I would only be able to use Your Next against one other enemy?

[Kyrand]

Yes, all of those enemies dropping to 0 counts as a single triggering event. This is mostly so the game doesn't get slowed down by resolving a ton of checks off of one ability.

[Finoan]

I think there is more to the reasoning behind the rule than that, but at this point we are just speculating about what the game writers have in mind.

But yes, Massacre and dropping three enemies from the one ability would be one event, so you could trigger a free action from that once.

If you instead drop one enemy with Strike, and then drop a second enemy with a second Strike, you could trigger a free action for both of them because those are separate events.

"Event" is not defined in the game rules. For arguments sake, how do we know that the three people dying aren't themselves three events? Seems rather eventful to me. :P

[Finoan]

True. GMs may vary on what they allow and don't. The Limitations on Triggers rule that we are all referencing even states that outright.

Limitations on Triggers wrote:

If two triggers are similar, but not identical, the GM determines whether you can use one action in response to each or whether they're effectively the same thing. Usually, this decision will be based on what's happening in the narrative.

I would rule that the outcome of a single activity such as Massacre would be a single trigger.
