Message: <blockquote data-quote="tomBitonti" data-source="post: 6279237" data-attributes="member: 13107">How is this different than the simpler example:A: Readies to shift 5' away if attacked.B: Attacks AA: Shifts 5' per the readied action.Then, is B's action cancelled, but not lost, or entirely lost?If this is modified by:A: Readies to shift 5' away if attacked.B: Moves 20' (out of 30') putting B next to A.B: Attacks A.A: Shifts 5' per the readied action.Then, can B continue moving the extra 5' necessary, then perform the attack?  In either case, could B change targets from A to A', if they happen to also be adjacent to B?Note the slightly different example:A: Readies to move away from any opponent who moves within 10'.B: Moves towards A (to make an attack).A: Moves away from B per the readied action.B: Continues moving towards A, reaching them (or not) depending on the remaining movement.  Or, swerves to A', who can still be reached in B's remaining movement.Or (depending on whether the equivalent of tanglefoot bags exist in 4E, and whether a charge can be continued if movement is impeded):A: Readies to throw a tanglefoot bag on any opponent who moves within 10'.B: Charges A from a distance of 20'.A: Throws the tanglefoot bag when B is 10' away, and successfully hits.Then, B's movement is halved.  In 3E, that would prevent the completion of the charge.Would B complete their motion to A (assuming 30', which is enough to reach A, even impeded), then be given a normal attack against A?  Or would B stop immediately when the charge could no longer be completed?In all of the examples, would penalties for charging apply even if the charge could not be completed?  (My gut says definitely yes, but, that means the charge is not entirely cancelled -- the charge has still happened to some extent.)Thx!TomB</blockquote>
