[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7572259, member: 15882"] Yes, why not. If he fails his roll to resist. Anything you can do as an action, you can ready. A readied attack forces a concentration check and if he fails he loses the spell and the player narrates the failed concentration as the caster fumbling his components. If there was a situation and the player said, “I don’t want anyone to get hurt. If the guy raises his sword to attack, I will disarm him. I’m readying an action.” I’d say “sure makes sense” and I’d have him roll an appropriate roll to disarm the guy before the attack resolves. Maybe an opposed attack rollor am opposed athletics check. If the enemy succeeds his role (like the caster succeeding a concentration check) the disarm would fail and the attack would proceed. If the enemy failed his check the player could narrate as raising his sword to block the oncoming blow and knocking the weapon out of the enemy’s hand. It’s more interesting than, “you can try that but only after he attacks the person you are defending”. [/QUOTE]
