Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alex319" data-source="post: 4994042" data-attributes="member: 45678">Consider the following three situations:1. A fighter readies an action to attack anything that enters a square adjacent to him. A wizard thunderwaves an enemy through a square adjacent to him, but the enemy ends up past him. Does the fighter's readied action go off as the monster is on its way past him?2. A monster readies an action to attack anything that enters a square next to him. A fighter uses Passing Attack, attacking another monster, and shifting through a square adjacent to the monster and ending up past him. Does the monster's readied action go off?3. A fighter readies the following action: "If the wizard uses his Shield power, charge the person who attacked him." A ranged attack monster shoots the wizard, and the wizard uses his Shield. At what point in the process does the fighter move and charge. If the fighter's charge kills the monster, does it negate the attack? Does the fighter get an AO since he was adjacent to the monster while the attack was in progress?---Basically, the general principle I'm after is to understand when immediate reactions go off. If you say that they only go off after you've finished the whole action, that seems to stop (1) and (2) from working, which don't really make sense. But if you say that they go off immediately after the thing that triggers them, then that would allows (3) - which seems to allow an exploit where you make any readied action an interrupt by piggybacking off of someone else's unrelated interrupt.</blockquote>
