[QUOTE="morikahn, post: 6907198, member: 6705615"] I'm sorry but this is not how Ready works. A ready action can be a single action or move, not both, and it must be declared during combat. In your example the Fighter can Ready an action to move 30' to the door [B]or[/B] he can be at the door with sword raised ready to swing when it opens.. but he can't do both. [LIST] [*]If you are readying a spell, you cast the spell and hold the magic (which arguably is visible to those observing you). [*]If you ready a ranged weapon, you have the spear raised, the arrow knocked, the sling spinning [*]If you ready a melee weapon the weapon is in your hand and ready to strike. [*]If you ready a move, you are in a stance that will make it easy to sprint in a particular direction. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
