Which in my reading implies, that you don't suffer from it neither the turn you wehre hit nor two turn after it - but only on your next turn.

Fair enough - unless I'm mistaken though, this distinction should never actually come up in-game (though still good to hash it out).

If your opponent damages you and inflicts shock, you have no opportunity to do anything that would incur the shock penalty until your next turn (when all agree the shock penalty would be in effect); if you damage your opponent and take damage that inflicts shock on yourself (say from attacking unarmed), you still have no opportunity to do anything that would incur the shock penalty until your next turn.

The only possibility might be if you attack your opponent and are interrupted by a Wait-Attack and suffer damage that inflicts shock...but I would imagine in that case that resuming your interrupted turn is the same as 'your next turn', so even then there's no chance of incurring the shock penalty until your next chance to declare a maneuver.

Um, don't mind all that, mostly just 'thinking out loud' through the keyboard - the only place this should come up is on the 'action headers' in the examples, I agree I shouldn't put the shock penalty there until the following turn.

(Combat is beginning to remind me of my heavy Magic: the Gathering days, scrutinizing 'when does an interrupt resolve', 'when does an instant occur', etc. :D)
