This argument mostly comes down to "when does the turn end" and "does Stun Recovery explicitly require you to be Doing Nothing in order to make a recovery roll"?


Turn Ending Per the FAQ:

"3.4.1.3 In combat, when does your turn end?

Your turn ends after you've chosen, executed, and ended a maneuver -- Attack, Concentrate, etc."


Thus, my ruling, the Character's turn was not over, the Wait had not yet been finalized.


Does Stun require one to be Doing Nothing to make a recovery roll? This one is murkier. My gut says "No", but I can see a literalist argument for yes (this argument feels like a stretch though).

For Example:

Biff sets a Wait: "If my foe looks to be about to attack, I step and Attack."

Skiff decides his foe is just sitting around Doing Nothing, it's time to launch an AOA (Strong) and end this fight.

Biff's Wait triggers, he steps and Attacks, hits Skiff in the face causing a Stun and Knockdown.


How many turns does Skiff have to lose to Stun before he's allowed to roll?

By my ruling 1, Skiff's turn resolves with him on the ground having lost his actions, he then ends his turn and makes a Stun Recovery roll.

By most everyone else's, 2.
