The Problem
The addition of immediate actions to 3.5 was a brilliant idea, as it allows for proper timing on reactive abilities, as well as making them play in the action economy. However, they contain a small problem in their timing, as nobody is quite sure whether they occur before the action that triggered them or after it. It also makes it confusing for abilities that are activated, rather than triggered, as nobody is quite sure whether such abilities can be used 'in response to' other abilities or not.

The Solution
Immediate actions are now divided into two forms: immediate reactions and immediate triggers. Both of these are still immediate actions, as per the rules, except for one difference. Immediate reactions always take place before the action that triggered them, or, if declared 'in response' to another action, fully resolve before it. Immediate triggers, on the other hand, take place after the action that triggered them, or, if declared 'in response' to another action, only resolve after that other action has finished resolving.

Additionally, unless stated otherwise, you are only allowed a single immediate action per round, regardless of how many swift actions you get.
