@pathfinder Does Stay down proccing on an enemy standing up prevent Reactive Strike of another character from working on that same enemy? Does Topple Foe from Marshal archetype attempt to Trip an enemy before or after the Reactive strike if the trigger was a reactive strike for re-prone pseudo-Stay Down purposes?

I like your idea of looking to the fiction, but I disagree with the outcome in this case if you do. Allies don't generally get in the way of each other, they cooperate. To both be in range of Reactive Strike, you're probably standing on opposite or at least adjacent sides of the same enemy, not one physically behind the other where blocking might make sense.

Your attempt to knock them back down shouldn't stop your ally attacking them as they try to stand.
