The italicized phrase does not state "your next action", it states "your next turn".It is not before your next turn. If you take the Readied Action, it becomes your next turn and hence, is not allowed. And, it is definitely "your next action".If you do not take the Readied Action, again, it becomes your next turn.Did you take an action with the Readied Action? Yes.Is it the point in the round in which you did that? Yes.Is it your new initiative count? Yes.A turn in DND is no different than a turn in many other games (like chess or monopoly). It is the player's (or DM's) opportunity "to go". The Readied Action does not change that, it merely changes when it happens. When you do your Readied Action, you get to take your turn. You can consider it your previous turn, or your next turn, but either way, it is not allowed since only a Move Action is allowed.I recall some time back that you opined that a character can decide to take a 5' step and/or free actions when they perform their readied action. It sounds to me like they are taking their turn if a) they are taking an action, b) they can make other decisions concerning their action, and c) that is their new initiative.</blockquote>
