[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9259076, member: 7037866"] There is no "during the attack action". You're thinking of things like timing, action, and everything during a round of combat as discrete when much of what happens is simultaneous. Combat isn't a stop-motion film, where one thing moves, then another attacks, a different one casts a spell, and such; and during all of this the others simply are "frozen in time." Taking an action just informs the DM and others of something your PC is doing during your turn. The exact sequence and when each part of every action you're performing gets resolved is up to the player, because it is their turn. They are not "exceptions", they are examples. If they were exceptions (as you claim), there [I]would[/I] be a general rule written someplace that one action cannot be interrupted by another action. [I]Then[/I] those would be exceptions to such a general rule. And guess what? -- There is no such rule written (which is necessary to make it RAW) anywhere in the books. Of course, neither is there a rule written that an action can be interrupted by another action... which is why arguing either side is RAW is futile, since neither "rule" is actually written anywhere. So, it is just up for each DM/group to decide whether such action "interruptions" make sense to the narrative, are cool, or by whatever criteria they decide to use. [/QUOTE]
