Message: <blockquote data-quote="Xetheral" data-source="post: 9761445" data-attributes="member: 6802765">I'm not ignoring the context, I simply view the context very differently than you do.I think the simplest reading is that: (a) the Ready Action is indeed an Action; (b) the Ready Action typically permits you take another Action (or move) as a Reaction when a trigger is met; and (c) the paragraph about readying a spell describes an alternative use of the Ready Action that doesn't require taking another Action at any point, just casting the spell on your turn and using a Reaction to release the energy.My interpretation is fully self-consistent, gives full effect to the language in the books describing the Ready Action as an Action, is consistent with the rules language of Improved War Magic, and avoids overloading the "as normal" language with implicit references to the Magic Action that notably do not appear in the text.I see the argument for your interpretation, but I prefer mine because I view it as simpler and more consistent with the text.</blockquote>
