Much better to possibly disrupte the single Readied action of the caster than it is to disrupt multiple PC actions. A simple way to do this if the fighter and rogue are in melee with the Orc is for the Orc to disengage. PCs lost three actions, NPCs lost one action. The overall result of this particular PC tactic is to get an action economy loss. Sounds like a subpar tactic.The problem (table depending) on having the spell caster ready an action is that the Orc gets an action first, and it might be difficult to declare a valid condition that will occur immediately after the Orc's turn. If the DM does not mind if the player readies an action for when the Orc's turn is over, then this difficulty does not exist.</blockquote>
