[QUOTE="myradale, post: 1985365, member: 25010"] [b]Ok, maybe this will help?[/b] It MAY seem like metagaming, but let's just replace the "I ready an action to shoot if he casts a spell" with "I ready an action to shoot if he comes through the door" Now, if you got shot once or twice as you came through a door, I'd think it would be pretty sensible to duck your head out and back quickly to see if anyone shoots at you. Apparently, every cop or action hero in any movie ever made agrees with me. Faking the spellcasting is pretty much the same as faking going through the door. Not metagaming, just good tactics. I don't even see why he'd need to actually cast a spell. Unless those archers have at least one rank in spellcraft, there is NO reason why they should be able to differentiate a fkae spell from a real spell. Heck, even to a practiced spellcaster, I'm make them roll a sense motive or spellcraft check vs the casters bluff check... a 20 INT guy would probably fake movements pretty similar to those of the spell for jus that reason. He still ends up getting shot though...not the GREATEST tactic i've heard of? [/QUOTE]
