[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4874863, member: 7006"] For some reason I don't know if I've ever played/ruled this correctly, and the rules block on Pg. 291 of the PHB doesn't state it explicity... but the Ready action: can you split your round of actions up? Are you able to take part of your round's action in their proper place in the initiative order (i.e. the Move and/or Minor actions), then Ready your Standard action to go off later in the round? So for example... can a rogue use a Move action on his turn to move up adjacent to an enemy, then Ready his attack action to go off when the fighter (for example) shifts into a flanking position on the fighter's turn? (Then once the fighter is in place, the rogue can now attack with combat advantage.) I've always played it that you [I]can't[/I] split your actions up like that... that once you start any of your actions for your turn, you have to finish the rest of them... but I suspect I'm not playing it correctly. What the concensus with everyone here? [/QUOTE]
