So, in another thread, readied actions are being discussed. Given what was said there...
EDIT: Thread here http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=211229
How do you ready a spear against a charge?
You take the readied action.
A foe charges you.
Your readied action occurs immediately before the triggering action (the charge), and you attack, but the foe hasn't moved yet, and is still 30' away.
OR, your readied action occurs immediately after the triggering action, and you attack, but the foe is inside the reach of your longspear.
The only case in which your readied action seems to actually work is if you act in the middle of the foe's single full round action. But Hypersmurf just got done proving that you can't do that. So what gives?
