[QUOTE="jlhorner1974, post: 541370, member: 8628"] I think it is good to use skills to resolve things like this wherever possible. Highly skilled creatures can do amazing things. Just make the DC as high as you think it needs to be. This leads me to an interesting tactic: Can you fake a spell by bluffing and "concentrating"? Example: Two evil wizards and their minions engage a party in combat. The party archers go first, and each ready an action to attack the first evil wizard that casts a spell. The wizard that goes first (who will probably be loaded up with mage armor, protection from arrows, shield, or all of the above) bluffs in an attempt to fake the casting of a spell. With a good bluff check, let's say he does well enough to make it look like he is really casting a spell and the archers botch a Sense Motive and are fooled. If the archers perceive what appears to be their trigger, they each take their readied actions and shoot. Then the other wizard casts a real spell, and won't be interrupted because the first wizard already drew out the readied actions from the archers... [/QUOTE]
