Charlaquin's latest activity

yeah, can be read that way. Not how I read it or would rule it, but it is ambiguous enough to not be obviously wrong I guess

Ready doesn’t delay any action. It allows you to take another action as a Reaction in response to a later trigger. It’s literally an...

I agree. Which means, you aren’t using the Magic action with the second action Action Surge gives you. You’re using it with the Reaction...

Just as if you Ready a spell, you can’t suddenly cast the spell without a slot or the necessary components for it. But in both cases...

Ready action is an action, it is not a delay. It does not count as the attack action and the ready action itself does not count as an...

Ok so the contention is about whether or not the Ready action used to cast a spell is actually a Magic Action. I don't have a horse in...

It is the most common, it is not normal in the context they are using here. Slow is normally used against multiple enemies, does that...

You are casting it as normal, but you are not using the Magic Action and nothing in the book defines the Magic action as the "normal"...
