[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6980359, member: 6669384"] In D&D 3.5 there is a set of Feats called reserve Feats. I believe that they're found in Complete Mage. I know I'm belaboring the obvious for many here, but for those unfamiliar: So here's my question: Presume an opponent is firing a projectile at a character who has this Feat, and who has a Ready Action. Can that character use Dimensional Reach to snatch that projectile out of the air? At that moment, between when it's released and when it strikes, it's "unattended". And Ready Action specifically says that it can be used to interrupt someone elses action. On the pro side, it does take the character's entire Standard Action to pull this trick, and if the opponent can fire/throw more than one attack a round, the secondary (and perhaps tertiary) attacks will come through normally. On the con side, it seems to be slicing the rules so thinly that it borders on abusive. (Note, technically, one could use a Readied action to wait unti an attack, melee or missile, was in progress, then move away so the attack is aimed at empty space. It's legal, but very abusive IMHO.) Now to be clear, I'm currently running a Wiz who has this feat, so this is definitely being asked from a player's point of view. Beyong what's technically legal, if you were the DM would you consider it abusive? [/QUOTE]
