The following question has come up in a game I am playing in:
Is it possible for a character with a feat like Spring/Flyby/Swim-By Attack to ready an application of the feat, i.e. to ready a move in between of which an attack shall be executed?
I'd say no because an application of this feat consists of a move and a standard action and the ready action only allows you to ready either a move or a standard action.
Another player in the game, however, argues as follows: Readying is possible as you only have to ready the move action. The attack simply happens inside the move, so overall it only counts as a move action.
His argument seems to imply that a feat like Flyby Attack combines two actions into one action, which I don't think I can agree with.
What do you think?
