[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 58290, member: 1077"] I guess basically what you are saying is that I was right in assuming Dex would break the initiative tie... But I am still concerned if this is a legal use of Ready... As it is stated, the readied action takes place BEFORE the action that triggers it. You also can't take your turn in the middle of someone elses if I am correct. So when I ready to "attack when it becomes light" then by this definition I would attack before it becomes light, which means it would be dark, which means my Ready wouldn't trigger, thus the paradox. I suppose I could have worded it, "I attack as it goes dark again" and then what would happen is, my group member would hide the Darkness cloth and it would go light. I do nothing at this point. As my group member pulls out the darkness cloth it starts to go dark, so then my attack would go off (while it is still light). But that doesn't answer the question if I can attack or take my turn in the middle of someone elses. Remember, to put the darkness cloth away was a Move-Equiv action, which means it was already that person's turn. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
