[QUOTE="Maitre Du Donjon, post: 625248, member: 9645"] I'm sure this has been covered before, but i just to be sure. Scenario 1: Cornered wizard, burly fighter is next to him and wants to split the wizard's skull open (i won't get into the specifics of why). For some reason, the fighter readies his action to clomp the wizard over the head as soon as the wizard does anything. The wizard, a little nervous, forgets to cast on the defensive. Now, would the fighter get 2 attacks (1 ready, 1 AoO) on the wizard before said wizard can cast his spell? Scenario 2: Snipy the Archer is fighting the burly fighter once again, who didn't get a chance to wipe the cranial matter off of his great club. Snipy and the Fighter (lets call him Joey Joe Joe Shabadoo*) are toe-to-toe. Joey Joe Joe readies an action to take a 5-foot step and clobber Snipy should he move back and try to stick an arrow in his throat. Snipy steps back, knocks an arrow in his bow, but Joey Joe Joe is right on his tail. Would Joey Joe Joe get an AoO for threatening Snipy, who is doing something something that provokes an AoO? Scenario 2b: Joey Joe Joe wields a spiked chain. He is still toe-to-toe with Snipy. Joey readies an action to shread Snipy to threads should he try to shoot an arrow while still within's Joey's reach. Snipy steps back 5 feet and knocks and arrow. Would Joey get his readied attack and his AoO? Why? Why not? Thanks in advance Maitre D * [i]- "That's the worst name i've ever heard in my life"[/i] [/QUOTE]
