In our last game we were fighting a ghost, her favorite tactic was to drop into the ground then come up and mess with us. After the ghost dissapeared into the ground the ranger readied an action to attack the ghost should she rise up near him. The next round the ghost rises up behind the ranger (within 5') and the dm says you dont' see her because your facing away and can't use your readied action.
I'm pretty sure this isn't correct by the rules. I feel that since there is no facing i should in theory be able to react to anything that happens within my threatened area, especially if i've readied an action. unfortunately finding the proper references in the rules has proven difficult. can anybody help, or give me the rules that prove i'm just whining about not getting my readied action.
thanks
