thepriz said:Again the book states that the triger of the action by the pc was "if the monster attacks me". The book states that the ready action is triggered when the monster attacks him and he moves back. This causes him to be out of range and the monster then can not perform his action so the monster is unable to perform his action.
Don't neglect the AoO the monster receives against the character leaving the threatened space. Withdrawing is a full-round action. Either way the monster gets an attack.
