There is no "move action" (there's Dash, I suppose, but it modifies your movement and if you Readied a Dash it would have no effect).  But when Readying Movement, that takes up your action!So Ready isn't an action, Movement isn't an action, but when combined, they are?  What kind of nonsense is this, lol.  I mean, I get why it has to be an action- if it wasn't, you could Ready Movement while say, you were Incapacitated until the end of your turn (since, you know, nothing stops you from moving while Incapacitated other than plain common sense, lol).So rather than write rules in a sensical way, WotC is basically saying "c'mon guys, you know what we meant, right?" and thus spawning endless debates over nothing at all!-Also, about this: "No no no. If I repeat my view another 1,363 more times before the thread is locked, everyone is compelled to agree with me.  The internet said so, and the internet is never wrong."What happens if someone else repeats their view 1,363 times before you?</blockquote>
