[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7572379, member: 6919838"] But, disarm is in the rules and has an action plus roll resist. There is **no** roll to keep spellcasting outside of a concentration spell etc. So, for the ready vs fighter swing you are indeed giving him the same thing he has as the base action rule, just delayed - execute disarm vs the weapon. But, if it were a monk strike, what then? Did you add in rules to stop the monk strike? The bard inspire? What if it's just a verbal spell - a thtoat shot to make thrm stop tslking I guess it comes down to this - in a broader sense of this discussion not just limited to your point. If the argument hinges on a special rule for casting to mske casting interruptable, cuz casting should be slower in a GMs view then it's a house rule to weaken magic casting and the wording of triggers in ready is minutiae by comparison - just linguistic hoops. If however one is making a ready kobold bolt shot able yi interrupt snd dro every type of action, then its about the ready action and likely still a bit of house ruling cuz by the book not every action can be interrupted and stopped by a bolt shot - non-lethal. But house rules are dandy, got a few myself and another being voted 9n by the group now. [/QUOTE]
