Yes it is supposed to be that way.. Declare, and if you wish you can react as things come up later...

[quote="faus7rav3n"]I've been wondering about this myself. I break my combats down into Rounds and Phases.

Given: Wookie_1 and TK421 are in a ranged combat. Wookie_1 declares 2 Actions (2 Shots/-1D). TK421 declares 2 Actions (1 Shot/1 Dodge/-1D) Slight Correction: The Wookiee does not need to declare what his actions are, only the number of actions. TK421 does not need to declare what its actions are nor to declare ahead of time a dodge as a reaction.

Round 1
Phase 1
Wookie_1 - takes his first action with a Bowcaster MAP'd -1D firing at TK421
TK421 - uses his Dodge as a reaction to avoid the shot with -1D This is correct.

Phase 2
TK421 - returns fire at Wookie_1 with -1D penalty
Wookie_1 - decides to take an additional action to react suffering a -2D penalty to actions, he pulls off the Dodge but barely.
*** The reaction and all subsequent actions are now reduced by 2D
Wookie_1 - fires again at the new -2D penalty and hits his target This is correct.

Is this the way it's supposed to follow or does the reaction count at the -1D penalty with subsequent actions falling to -2D? Yes. The Wookiee effectively has +1D advantage for his first action because he won the initiative and fires before his opponent can act.

This is the 2nd edition and 2R&E RAW. Several folks here play with different house rules which is confusing if they explain what they do rather than explaining what the rules say.
