[QUOTE="Balgus, post: 479448, member: 8113"] i have always used it as action/ reaction. You just have to describe the action clearly enough so that you can react to it. EX of valid situation- i have my bow knocked- the first head i see come out of that door, I will shoot at. EX of not valid situation: I will hide behind the door and wait while my friend is in there to bring the baddies out. If the baddie is over 7 ft tall, I will hit him with my sword. If he is smaller than 5 ft, I will trip him with my whip. If my friend runs out first, I will activate my wand of fireballs on the next person thatcomes out... When you ready an action, the trigger must be general enough so that you can think in a split second. If you have to calculate and rethink stradegies, I don't think you would be able to do that in time to get the readied action off. So- I guess my answer is : The more general, the better. If you get too specific, then it probably won't have a chance to get triggered. Plus, if you maek it too specific, and one piece is different, you lose the readied action- which is always a bummer.
