Readied Bull Rush and Concentration Checks

[Pagan priest]

Some of the arguement against allowing a readied charge is based on the concept of "move, then ready charge, triggered... now!" silliness. That rightfully should be banned. With the appropriate limits, as already defined for a charge action, I think it works.

I agree. I think that if the PC (or NPC) doesn't perform any actions, readies a charge against a mage casting a spell, and then charge/bullrush then I would allow it.

But 20+ spell level may be too much unless they were knocked back 10' or more. (Into the boiling cauldren. Full of brewing poison. ) 20+ spell level isn;t too tough, a 9th level mage -- Concentration 17 (12+1+4 with 12CON and combat casting) still only as to roll a 6 to get off the lightning bolt.

I just don't think that charge/bullrush is supposed to be the defacto trick to disrupting spellcasters.
