[QUOTE="mrpopstar, post: 8353798, member: 25352"] I think these are all valid, they just don't play out very smoothly, or you don't benefit from them they way you might anticipate you would. Would you need to take the Ready action (a combat action) outside of combat, though? That may be the point being made. The reason I disagree is that the rule stipulates "When you take the Dash action, [B]you gain extra movement[/B] equal to your speed." instead of "When you take the Dash action, [B]you move[/B] a distance equal to your speed." It doesn't appear as though I'm alone in that understanding. I'm open to a clarification that changes my mind! You can't help but notice? You make it sound as though I'm trying to trick you (which I'm not). :confused: EDIT: Found some more relevant [URL='https://www.sageadvice.eu/double-dash-in-1-turn/']Sage Advice[/URL] to consider. [B]Question[/B]: "So how does that work? Each dash is a move action or is it just you may move again?" [B]Answer[/B]: "On your turn, you can move. Dash increases how far you can move on a particular turn." Place that in context with... [B]Question[/B]: "If you ready the Dash Action, can you then move up to twice you speed in reaction to the trigger?" [B]Answer[/B]: "Dash gives you extra movement. Off your turn, you have no movement. E.g., 0 ft. + 30 ft. = 30 ft., not 60 ft." That leads me to the conclusion that if you take the Ready action to Dash, nothing happens when you take your reaction because your reaction takes place on another combatant's turn. [/QUOTE]
