Yes that passage is about the timing of reactions to movement only. Actions that disrupt other actions in general are timed after and cause the triggering action to have no effect: "When an action is disrupted, you still use the actions or reactions you committed and you still expend any costs, but the action's effects don't occur." (PC 415) It's a bit weird -- you take your action after the manipulate action, AND the action's "effects don't occur" -- but I suppose that prevents the rules from clashing.

2025-01-30 20:19:35 +0000 UTCIs the point talking about "reactions" refers to reactions to movement only? Because "reactive strike" to name the most used disruptive reaction of them all, has a specific point to disrupt "manipulate" actions (or even "concentrate" actions in "disruptive stance"), and it would have no meaning to include any disruption in the description if the reaction would occur after the action itself. I'd have to go back to this "how it's played", because that's confusing.

2025-01-30 14:23:30 +0000 UTCI am not an expert, so I might be wrong, but the strapping system on a shield you have shown in your video is not used in all shields. Your classic viking or saxon shields for example had a central grip, no straps. I know it is not simulate and system is simplifying but I just wanted to point it out.
