[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7572225, member: 6919838"] There is no "attempt to cast a spell" that is separate from "casting a spell". Every action is an attempt, but it foesnt gr separated into the attempt to do it and doing it. You dont attempt to attack, you attack. Put another way, none of my dpellcasters attempt to cast spells, they either cast or they dont. So, if you said that as your trigger in my gsme, I would explain it would never go off. As for the cases of "raises a hand, makes a gesture, says a word etc, I think its important to understand that characters are not assumed to be standing stock still and silent when in a combat and not on your turn. So how does one differentiate between those movements and noises snd casting spells on the fly in that instant before someone is actually casting a spell. Anyway, folks can house rule what they want. Would avoid playing a caster in that game myself if it was made clear at session zero. Not that it cant be countered but it's just less fun to always be running the same few required tricks to beat ready-fu. [/QUOTE]
