[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8433254, member: 7032025"] Which is all I need with 5e, which is in my personal perspective much better as I'm more interested in the narrative than in the technicalities, but here you go, thanks to 5e I can have both. No, it's the declaration of intention to attack. It's extremely clear, see [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/phb/combat#MakinganAttack']here, MAKING AN ATTACK[/URL]: This is the trigger, I am chosen as a target, it's a perceivable circumstance. I think it's 100% clear in the RAW. That being said, whereas 5e says "First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your reaction", I agree that 4e only said " Choose Trigger: Choose the action that will trigger your readied action." But 5e is much more open (as usual). Which is fine, as I'm not using them as triggers. No, the narrative AND the technical description coincide, making an attack starts by choosing a target. It is not exactly the same, but it interrupts the resolving of the attack nonetheless, because it intervenes before you roll damage. [/QUOTE]
