[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4024245, member: 1656"] This, you certainly can do. The Ready action is a standard action, and in a turn you can take a move action and a standard action, so there's definitely nothing preventing you moving as your move action, and then Readying as your standard action. So in Round 1, Bob moves alongside Xaxos as a move action, and Readies a move action for if Xaxos moves outside the radius of the spell. Xaxos moves 20 feet, and as he goes to move further, the readied action triggers, and Bob moves alongside him again. Xaxos has ten feet of movement left - still within the spell - and then can either take a move action or a standard action. He can't cast, since he's still Silenced, so he moves another 30 feet, taking him 20 feet outside the spell radius. In round 2, Bob moves 30 feet, putting Xaxos back inside the spell, and Readies again. Xaxos moves 10 feet then triggers the Ready; Bob moves back adjacent; Xaxos finishes his movement, still just inside the spell. Again, he has a move or standard action left, so he moves again, getting 30 feet outside the spell, and he still hasn't been able to cast. This time, Bob has a problem - he needs to double move to get adjacent this time. But bear in mind that Xaxos has had to move 120 feet in a straight line so far to bring that situation about. How big is the area where all this is taking place? Eventually, he has to hit a wall, right? -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
