Others have already mentioned making Spellcraft checks to determine what spell is being cast. Why should your archers stick to arrows? Alchemist's fire deals continuous damage and can force Concentration checks (over two rounds, too) even if you hit the spellcaster before he casts his spell. Tanglefoot bags can also force Concentration checks by entangling a spellcaster. Give your archers sleep arrows or custom-made daze arrows.0-level spells and 1st-level spells are cheap but they are resources. Sure your payoff for the ready tactic isn't as great as you hoped it would be (getting the player to spend extra spell slots instead of having a chance to lose another spell being cast), which is why you just need to switch to more effective tactics.</blockquote>
