[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 3871476, member: 14403"] It should work for an arrow. If you have initiative over an enemy with a bow you could easily ready an action to "move behind cover if he prepares to shoot at me". When the enemy's action comes up you can interrupt him with your readied action to move behind total cover thus making his attack worthless. As long as your initiative is better than the person attacking you, your character should be able to move out of the way either during your initiative or by interrupting the enemy. Either way you are acting before they do which is the benefit of a higher initiative. This is why "Improved Inititiative" is worth taking as a feat. I'd allow it... but as a DM I'd also allow my NPCs to do the exact same thing if they have initiative. As long as both the PCs and NPCs can do it then neither has an advantage. [/QUOTE]
