Sure, SOMETIMES that works just fine - "I wait for the Wizard to act, and then Attack this dude in front of me" - but what if That Dude goes after me and before the Wizard and Moves? I've just lost my action completely, since no matter what the Wizard does, I'm not able to Attack that dude. And what happens if, after I declare my Wait, the Wizard decides to do something completely different that screws up my plan, or critically succeeds on the "debilitating" spell and it turns into "incapacitating" and my attack on that guy is wasted?

I would rather be able to simply say, outright, "I go after that person, for this entire fight", even if I can't do a D&D-style "Delay" that moves my init number down on the fly round-to-round.
