[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5624386, member: 23094"] So, basically, your house-rule could boil down to "I'll be more flexible in letting people delcare their triggers"? :D I mean, I've found it's useful to be fairly lax in their requirements to begin with; I don't see the huge need to write a whole new rule when just thoughtfully applying the old one will work out. In this case, the thief is allowed to attack the princess if one of the guards he sees gets too close, or if they attack. There's no need to be a stickler for precisely defining "move" as "If they get closer than 15'" or "If they draw a weapon" or ... As for your archer at the door example, I allow people to decide not to take their readied action. When they declare, "I ready to attack the first enemy through the door", and then they decide not to shoot the goblin, well, they're allowed to decide to not shoot if they really don't want to. As for: "If they come too close or attack me, I'll stab Grandma" is a perfectly acceptable ready action. It covers people advancing past the wagon and someone throwing an axe. [/QUOTE]
