[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2625901, member: 22779"] Yeah, it looks like this won't work according to the rules. :( Although, you can't walk around with readied actions anyway, since you can't take any action without losing your readied action. That part doesn't enter into the issue at all. That kinda blows. I thought this was a pretty decent tactic for dealing with dungeon crawls. It's not without its flaws since a bad guy who is aware of the party could really put the bite on them by readying an action for when someone enters the room/opens the door. Although, strictly by the rules, that doesn't work either since you apparently cannot ready an action outside of combat. Bad Guy - Gee, I hear those guys in armor trying to be quiet moving around outside my door. I guess I'll stand here and do nothing while they open the door since I can't just point my weapon at the door and let them have it when the door opens. I'm seeing a house rule in the making.
