[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7572146, member: 6987520"] Very true, which is why I wrote in my post, "Will it interrupt the spell and ruin it?" Maybe or maybe not... that is up to the DM and the table. The rules don't specify that it will be, but neither do they specify that it won't be. SA never addresses what should happen if a caster is hit during while casting his spell because the way 5E initiative works it won't happen unless you have a readied action (which is what the OP was about). Now, that is our table's interpretation of it. It is not "official" in any way, but neither is the other option. All we have to go off of is spells with longer casting times where it states a concentration check is required. Since with longer spells you are casting while hit and must make a check, it stands to reason with quicker spells if you are also hit while casting a check should be required. You could just as easily argue no check should be required because 1 action spells are fast enough that even if you somehow get it, you will still complete the spell. Obviously we play the first way. Others play the second. Others want to play you can't even a attempt to hit a caster in the process of casting a 1 action spell, even if you have a readied action. Any of these are possible but none are official because you can argue all three cases until you are blue in the face and you will never be right (nor will I LOL! :) ). [/QUOTE]
