[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 3008564, member: 799"] Agreed with I2k for a part. You cannot ready for something like "an attack that is going to hit". Since you have no idea till it actually hits unless you have some kind of prescience. You can ready on "an attack that hits" aka after it hits and on "an attack" when it takes place. But I *would* allow people to ready on completion of a spells casting. But the spell has to lend itself for it. For example if someone wants to ready a "wall of ice" when someone completes a fireball spell for example to have it blow up in his face I have no problem to allow it.
