I don't recall, and my current patience level ain't letting me go look. :)

wrong thread... sorry
Deadmanwalking:
What type of action (or lack thereof) is it to use defensive items? Because there's been alot of talk about layering them with a Shield or something like that, but I just looked and nowhere does it say that they're anything less than the normal action they'd be as an Evocation to use. Not here anyway, I obviously lack access to the new source files. Which would make them very much not the last-desperate-measures kind of thing this patch's first post refers to them as.
I'm assuming the intent is that they're a free action, but i can't find that actually stated anywhere.

Since you can use them at the time that the attack connects, it would follow.
Ah, in fact I appear to have anticipated this, as we have this in the text already: "Defensive items (ones that provide armor or a block, for example) often consume a use at the time of defense and don’t require a separate action to activate."

Right. Absolutely...where does it say they can do that? Like I said, I looked around and couldn't find it except in discussions in this thread.
Of course, you (unlike I) have the current source document, and it might easily be in there along with the changes in the first post. But it's not explicitly in the first post itself, nor in the Early Bird PDF I've got.
