The ready action sacrifices a standard action for an immediate interrupt based on the trigger condition - initiative stays the same. I think water would grant cover, but I would treat a burst as a 3.5 spread - it goes around corners.The encounter prep looks like a breeze in 4e. Six 1st level PC's should yield an average encounter budget of 600 XP. Third level bad guys are 150 XP each, so four of them should pose an average challenge. The black dragon is 875 XP, so he is still as deadly as advertised.Below 300 XP would be too easy, above 900 XP is threatening a TPK.How many rounds fighting the dragon? Did it drag out to PC at-wills vs. darkness/bite?</blockquote>
