[QUOTE="RedSiegfried, post: 6764782, member: 6801611"] gruthunder, your player is in the right. He can certainly set the trigger to be "an enemy targets me." IIRC there are all sorts of powers that have "when X targets Y" as a trigger for an immediate action and there's nothing in the rules for Ready An Action that says you can't do that. And yes, the readied action always happens as an Immediate Reaction, so if you want to "interrupt" something, the key is to set the trigger to be something that will happen just before the thing you want to "interrupt." And of course readying an action always has a downside ... if your trigger never occurs, you've just wasted your Standard Action for that round. Many shenanigans can be pulled with readied actions, but I've never seen a player actually do any of them in real play. Mainly because they know what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
