[QUOTE="prospero63, post: 4576148, member: 16014"] If I understand it correctly, and forgive me but I've been awake for 40 hours or so right now, I think (s)he has a flawed premise as well. I think liberty has been taken with the "it is also possible to set a readied action to trigger 'as soon as a certain condition exists" statement. I don't believe that is a correct assumption, and the rest of the scenario requires an agreement that it is correct. The condition and the time the triggered action occur don't follow. Per the SRD "The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. Not "as soon as a condition exists" but "before the stated condition exists". Any condition that in any way is tied to the end of the spell is going to result in a failure of some fashion since by rule the readied action occurs first, and time stop makes everyone invulnerable to you. Now, that doesn't mean that one couldn't tie the readied action to something else (i.e. the first time I see someone move) and have the readied action continued to be readied, per the SRD, "any time before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition.". So it would be readied during the time stop, but would be taken after the time stop ends, at any time up to your next action, as the trigger condition stipulates (when they move). At least that's what I think my tired mind thinks should happen. :confused: [/QUOTE]
