Message: <blockquote data-quote="D+1" data-source="post: 1441399" data-attributes="member: 13654">It doesn't "become your turn?"  Let me guess.  That's official Sage Speak?  Rather irrelevant anyway isn't it?  A pointless technicality at best because the end result is exactly the same.  The trigger occurs, you complete your readied action and your initiative changes, or, the trigger occurs, you change initiative and then complete your readied action.  You can't take AoO anywhere in there in any case unless the opportunity presents itself BEFORE your readied action is triggered, not BY TAKING the readied action.You can't move, ready a move, later in the round have your readied move triggered, take your readied move, THEN take an immediate attack of opportunity against someone while they are NOT taking actions that would draw an AoO (because whether it's in the limbo of "after your turn but before your next turn" it's not THEIR turn while YOU are taking your readied move and changing initiative - and ipso facto it must be your turn), and then after all that they actually get to take their turn.I use the phrase "it becomes your turn" quite intentionally because it is YOUR initiative that is being adjusted.  You just don't get a FULL turn as such because you deferred at least part of it by Readying.  That may not be the way the rules explain it or define it but it's a serviceable means of explaining what's going on.  It certainly demonstrates that what the original poster was trying to do wasn't possible while using direct, concrete terminology.</blockquote>
