They happen to be correct, so you should stop telling them that they are wrong.With a few exceptions, actions are discrete events that can only be interrupted with an immediate interrupt. Movement can be interrupted with a readied action immediate reaction.However, an attack can NOT be interrupted with a readied action immediate reaction. Since it is an immediate reaction, it occurs after the attack. Unlike movement which has a specific exception in the ready rules, attacks do not do this. You appear to want this to be the rule, but it is not.Page 291:The main rule here is that it occurs after the enemy completes the trigger action. The exception rule is that it can interrupt movement if the triggering action was movement. The enemy can then continue moving after the readied action is resolved.The movement rule is a specific exception to the standard rule that ready actions occur after the triggering action is completely finished.Note the word "action". A move action is different than a standard than a free than a minor. Only a movement type move action can be interruped with a readied action, the rest cannot. Even a normal move action (which is not movement) cannot be interrupted because the rules state that the action has to be completely resolved.So if you set the trigger to attack the creature when it lets go of your grabbed ally (a free action for the enemy), then after the free action "end a grab" action is over, the ready action would then occur before the creature could do its standard action attack.If you set the trigger to attack the creature after it moves next to you, then it moves next to you, you attack, it then can either continue moving (which would provoke an opportunity attack) or it can stop moving and then do some other action like attacking.And, I agree with Frank. The rule should be an immediate interrupt instead of an immediate reaction because immediate reaction is illogical (and requires the special movement rule exception).</blockquote>
