[QUOTE="Dr. Zoom, post: 87502, member: 409"] You readied but the enemy did not charge. Instead they released their pet. Therefore, you "lost" round one because no one did anything. Round 2 comes and you are still ready. The pet charges. You either take your still readied partial action, or wait till your normal initiative and give him a flurry. Either way, you attack once and the pet attacks once. Round three is even, too. The only loss was the mutual first round inaction on both sides. DMG page 63 and 64 under "Adjudication the Ready Action." It says that if you do not take your readied action when the condition is met, you can stay readied (it gives the DM a couple of optional ways to make this more difficult, but those are not the standard rule). And the PH says that if you come to your next action and have not taken your readied action, you lose it. You can always ready the same action again, or do something else. [/QUOTE]
