[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 6146564, member: 13107"] To say, readied actions work on triggers, which break through the game grammar to the underlying description of what is happening. A readied action *can* trigger in the middle of an action. That action is "paused" with remaining parts incomplete until the readied action completes, then resumes and completes (if possible). That is, a readied action can use a condition of "when an opponent attacks Ferdie", and if Ferdie is attacked second in a three attack full round attack action, the readied action goes off before Ferdie is attacked, interrupting the full round action. A careful question does arise, which is to decide what parts of the trigger have completed when the readied action goes off. If my readied action is to cast a wall of stone between the attacker and Ferdie, then, is the attack lost, or, can it be given a new target? Thx! TomB [/QUOTE]
