[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 298895, member: 259"] Oh, you asked when I used delay. Generally, I use it when the battlefield prevents me from doing anything particularly useful right now, but I expect that conditions will change. For example: in one combat, my wizard had climbed a tree that was surrounded at the base by an obscuring mist. Zombies moaned and shuffled within that mist, so I climbed out of the mist and delayed. Eventually, the evil cleric who accompanied the zombies came running out of the mist, followed closely by my companions. I stopped delaying and started firing my crossbow at the cleric. Delay is good to use when you don't know an exact trigger that you want to prompt your action. It's good when you can't really predict what's gonna happen in a battle, and you don't want to lose a readied action. It's good if you're standing next to an enemy and you expect that a companion is about to come running up to flank the enemy. It's not good if you want to act while something else is going on. That's when you want a readied action. Daniel [/QUOTE]
