[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8584144, member: 7032025"] No, actually. With all your dithering, you still have failed to express exactly what your ready action is. But in any case, the DM is still entitled to asking "are you crawling as fast as you can to get out of the blast, or are you just crawling around to mess up with the system ?" Because the second one is totally silly, as demonstrated below. I did that ? This is simply a lie. If you think I have, show it to me. But otherwise, please be nice and stop putting words in my mouth. And pray tell where these stupid requirements come from and what they have to do with the declaration of what your character does ? A player does not make requirements, he just describes what his character is doing. Then, by exactly the same token, when declaring a simple move (outside of any ready action), you think that you are entitled to say "I make my move of 30 feet, but at a snail pace so that it takes me 10 minutes" ? Because that is exactly what you are saying here. And you think that a DM has to accept that it's going to take you 10 minutes to crawl 30 feet as your move action just because you declare it that way ? Honestly, I hope you realise how all of this sounds. Prove it. You have totally failed to prove anything like this since the start of the conversation. Just prove it. I'll be waiting. Prove it. Again, while there is an explicit proof to the contrary in the spell description, we are still waiting, 15 pages later, for you to provide even a shred of proof. But please do continue... The problem is that whether you present it from a rules or description perception, you lose. If it's rules, you lose since you don't have a shred of evidence whereas I have given you multiple times all the quotes that apply, and if it's from a narrative perspective, it's even worse, with your insistence that it does not work because you can choose to crawl at a snail's pace to avoid a blast. So, instead of repeating the same thing over and over, why don't you actually find a proof ? Actually no, I had to point you towards the Ready action of 5e and its "perceivable circumstance" when you insisted that it had to be an action like it was in 4e (see for example [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/if-you-use-thunderstep-but-teleport-less-than-10-feet-do-you-take-damage.686796/post-8581038']this post[/URL], but there are many other instances).
