I just picked up Forbidden Lands and I have a question regarding the use of reactive actions.
As I interpret p. 91-92 you can use a reactive action before your initiative and then you just lose your swift action on your turn to act. Is that correct?
Example:
Orcgrish, the Orc Fighter, and Humano, the Human Fighter, are about to start a fight. They are within Arm’s Length and neither has any talents that affect initiative or reactive actions.
Orcgrish gets a 10 on initiative. Humano gets a 5.
Orcgrish hits Humano at 10. Can Humano try and parry? If yes, I assume that he would lose his swift action at 5. Is that correct?
