[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8433697, member: 7032025"] No, it's not. Again, you are way too technical about this, but RAW does not support you. I have proven to you that both spells and abilities can interrupt an attack resolution sequence anyway, so why are you still fighting this ? The problem is that, just as with the discussion about counterspell that you lost, and just for the same reasons, you think that RAW is supporting you, but it does not. In particular, both for counterspell and this case, the RAW does not dictate what a character can perceive and what he cannot, it's 100% in a DM's hand, about what he describes to the character. What RAW says, however, is that if you can trigger a readied action on any perceivable event. So, totally independently of the attack resolution sequence, if a character can perceive that he is being targeted, then he can use this as a trigger. That is purely RAW, and I hope that you are not going to discuss this any further. On this case, however, you are even more wrong than on the counterspell thread, because in this case I have shown you, RAW, that an attack sequence can be interrupted and that even a hit can be stopped by a reaction. So even if you were such a technical DM that you would not allow someone not perceiving that he is being targeted for an attack (and this being an explicit step of an attack resolution), one could trigger a reaction on being hit (as shield and deflect missile), and misty stepping away would do exactly like shield and deflect missile and protect you from damage as you would simply not be there to receive it. That being said, at this stage, I doubt that you are discussing in good faith. On some threads (counterspell) you argue for total omniscience of characters on the battlefield to be able to hear a caster that he cannot even see on the other side of a battlefield, on this one, a character cannot even discern when someone next to him is targeting him for an attack...
