Ferocious Attack question

[SableWyvern]

So it seems to me that I should be able to Delay or Ready an action while using FA, but as the rules are written it is a little ambigous.

Certainly you should be able to do so. What leads you to wonder otherwise? The rules for Ferocious Attack don't comment on Delay or Ready, so they would exist as options as they usually do.

A Ferocious Attack does what the Ferocious Attack description says it does. Any rule not referred to or altered within that description is not altered, disallowed or otherwise affected by Ferocious Attack's use.

This ambiguity you are referring to seems to be nothing more than the fact the rules don't explicitly and seperately cover every possible situation that could occur.

I think I thre you off with my speculative post above, because...well...I was also wrong, as was pointed out. (lol).

Delay works as a No Action and takes no ammount of "time" in a round; it simply delays the action tat you would normally want to take on, for example, count 18 of round 1 until a later count, say 12, in that same round.

Ready can effectively work the same way, it just serves to apply a "trigger" to the actio that you intend to take, The caveat would be that you'd only be able to Ready an attack action to which you wish to apply Ferocious Attack if the trigger were going to feasibly occur in round 1 of combat. It could occur on any count, but because FA only works in the first round of combat, you'd have to trigger it to something that round or lose the benefits. It would be something like saying "I want to wait until the big guy does something, and then I'll jump in, so I Ready my attack with that as the trigger and I'm going to use Ferocious attack as well."

Sorry for the confusion (and wrongness - lol).
