[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 29208, member: 111"] This is off our topic, but was so misleading that I had to chime in on it. WHAT?!? Where did THAT come from? The ATTACK ACTION (from page 122) is an ACTION. How can you possibly say that an individual attack is NOT an action? Page 122, right hand column, uner ATTACK ACTIONS, unser "Attack": How is that not clear?? I have to assume that you meant something else, for you are not usually that blatantly wrong about such a basic rule. Unless you are trying to say that an individual attack from a Full Attack action is not an action, in which case, sure, that's true, but what difference does that make? One can certainly trigger a readied action on the opponent's attack (whether the full attack action or the attack action matters not). Almost right, but not quite. A readied action can have multiple triggers. From page 134: Note: "conditions," plural. So, while I agree you need to trigger off a specific action, it appears also that you do not have to be overly specific because you may choose more than one action as your trigger. Now, of course, only one action actually triggers the partial action - one that meets the "conditions" you declared. That quote you used is right after the bit about "choosing your conditions" and in no way implies you can specify only one "action" for the trigger, as you seeem to suggest. To be perfectly clear so that no one is misled: 1. For a readied action you must declare the "conditions" under which you will execute your partial action. 2. These "conditions" must have at least one "action" that can be recognized as meeting those "conditions". [/QUOTE]
