It this legal?
Player A and Player B are next to monster XXX.
Player B has been dishing out lots of damage and monster XXX is targeting that PC.
Player A wants to cast a spell but can't without drawing an AOO from the monster (can't move, bad concentration, etc.).
Can Player A ready the following action:
"When Monster XXX attacks Player B I cast spell YYY?"
So, just as Monster XXX attacks, this PC casts a spell.
Question: does the Monster get an AOO?
Yes: because the rules say so.
No: the readied action gives the monster essentially no "time" to take an AOO.
Your thoughts?
