[QUOTE="deleteme123456, post: 4680478, member: 65832"] Me & another DM are working on a list of house rules for our group. We're trying to shut down (although it hasn't happened yet and probably won't, we're of the opinion that if we told you up front that it doesn't work, you're less likely to be cranky later if we say it doesn't work) this sort of scenario: Rogue: (moves next to enemy X). I ready Reflex Strike vs X for after the Cleric attacks. Cleric: I use Righteous Brand on X. If it hits, I give the power bonus to the rogue. Rogue: My readied action goes off, and I attack with a power bonus... Because the Rogue interrupted the Cleric's turn, the Rogue is ahead of the Cleric, and the benefit is in effect until the end of the Cleric's next turn, which won't be until after the Rogue has a 2nd turn with the power bonus. We were going to have readying put you after, but that doesn't stop it... Cleric: I ready Righteous Brand for when the Rogue is next to X. Rogue (moves next to X). Cleric: (uses readied action) Rogue: attacks with power. If the cleric is moved to after the rogue, we're back to the original problem. Ideally the rule would be simple but work without changing too much else. Any ideas for how to phrase it? [/QUOTE]
