[QUOTE="zyzzyr, post: 201951, member: 1867"] Thanks for the feedback. However, I was referring more to an AoO + attack versus a single attack and losing the AoO. "Casting a spell" provokes an AoO if you are in a threatened square. If I ready an attack "if he casts a spell", then the minute he starts casting, I attack. But apparently, as pointed out by Magus_Jerel , and which I thought to be the case (but it just seems counterintuitive), you would still get the AoO since nothing is preventing that. It just seems a little odd to me. "I ready an attack if he casts a spell". He casts a spell. I attack. But since he's casting a spell, I get an AoO. So I end up with 2 attacks, both based on the same enemy action. Weird. As to 2), I agree, I'm just trying to determine what is "reasonable". I'm the DM :) I keep thinking that I can change my mind in a split second. If I ready it versus him casting a spell, and I only specify at the time "when he's casting", realistically speaking I can change that if I see him start to run. Tough call I guess. zyzzyr [/QUOTE]
