Such a solution is not really a solution since it requires that the Readying creature know that it has to do so and it requires that the creature potentially waste an action. Do you understand the sig now? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
