[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 1263363, member: 307"] [b][/b] So, you are saying that the initiative rules don't appear in the actual rules? Since that is what I suggested using. You know: the rules concerning initiative that you are very eager to toss aside in favor of out of combat readied actions. I wouldn't have to appear condescending if you actually read the rules that appear in the SRD, which you quoted. Perhaps you need to learn to read better. [b][/b] Umm, yeah, they are. You need to read better. From the SRD: Let's see. You asked when a readied action was inserted into the initiative order. It is inserted just before the action that triggered it. When you have a series of readied actions, insert them in the order that they were triggered. This is not that hard to figure out if you actually read what is written in the SRD. If you have the same trigger as another character, you use the same initiative order as you would have otherwise with respect to that character, with the character with the higher previous initiaitive going first, since there is nothing to change your order with respect to individuals with the same trigger. Continuing. [i][/i] When you resolve a series of readied actions, their initiative order is pegged in the same sequence that they took their readied actions, just as is stated here. This is not rocket science. You just don't bother reading very well, preferring to call the rules "unclear" and inventing methods to get around the initiative rules. [/QUOTE]
