[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 4808963, member: 64066"] I agree, I think all 3 of these are perfectly legal. I believe that the mention of it being an Immediate Reaction are more to give a rule on the order of how opposing actions are resolved. From what is said earlier in the description, I don't think is intended to restrict triggers to only being an enemy action. I disagree with this interpretation, an would definitely rule against it. I think that it is intended that Readying an Action would treat temporary effects identically as the Delay. I would rule that the save does not happen occur until the end of the turn where you actually complete your turn (either at the end of resolving the readied action or the end of your next turn, if it comes around without using the readied action. I will concede that they should have been more clear in the rules here. Actually, I think this is completely legal. I see no problem with readying an action in the hope that another character might be able to cure the condition. Sure, it means you are declaring an action that isn't currently possible, and can only be completed under certain conditions (an ally cures you of your condition), however, delaying an action that isn't currently possible until a later trigger that would allow your action to become possible is the exact way that most readied action work anyway. Back to earlier, I don't think your turn has ended yet. Once your delayed action completes, then your turn is completely over and negative conditions are evaluated. [/QUOTE]
