Jostled

Condition Severity: Weak

Your place in the initiative order immediately drops by 3. Additionally, you suffer a -2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn. This effect always ends after 1 round. Your place in the initiative order does not revert to its previous place when this condition ends.

Note that a creature whose place in the initiative order is reduced cannot take an additional action in a round in which they have already acted. For example, if a creature takes its action on initiative 20, then is attacked and gains the Jostled condition on initiative 19 (and has its initiative reduced to a 17), it does not get to act again on initiative 17.

Furthermore, if a creature holding its action (or readying an action) has its initiative reduced, it may not act during any of the initiative ticks prior to its new initiative number. For example, a creature on initiative 20 holds its action. On initiative 19, it is attacked and gains the Jostled condition, reducing its initiative to a 17. The creature may not use its held action until initiative 17 or later.
