[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8038109, member: 6801845"] A lot of this is up to your DM, but the problems I see: [LIST] [*]You cannot ready an action outside of combat. [*]I would rule that taking someone's sword is a disarm attempt, which is an optional combat option in the DMG (page 271 under Dungeon Master's Workshop/Combat Options). [*]Not sure I following the whole tapestry thing. They have to tear down the tapestry and then wrap it round her head? And then hold it? That seems like it would take at least a couple of actions and ... I dunno. How do you wrap a tapestry around just the head with someone that's fighting you? How big is the tapestry? [*]In general, unless the spell states otherwise (such as some of the scrying spells) a target of a spell knows they've been targeted. [/LIST] So it's completely up to your DM and their style of play. By a strict reading of the rules I don't see how it would work for the reasons stated above, but I'm not your DM. You know your DM better than I do though, it's up to them so you may want to clarify how some things will work. Best way to avoid being stoned by a medusa in my games is to simply avoid their gaze and not look at them. Doesn't stop any of the grapples, which could still be useful. [/QUOTE]
