[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9761619, member: 23751"] True. True. False. There is capitalization there, so it's not referring to the action itself. The context is the unavoidable rule that you must ready an action to take later, or the specific exception of readying a move. Look at the first paragraph. When ready refers to itself, it capitalizes the word. "To do so, you can take the [U][B]Ready[/B][/U] action on your turn," "When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but..." Note the difference. There is no such thing a "Ready a spell." You ready an action or a move. Period. False. It's incorporated into the unavoidable rule that if you don't ready a move, you must ready an action. The only action that allows spellcasting is the Magic Action. False. False. There is no such place in the action. You are capitalizing the R, the Ready Action does not, because it is not referring to itself there. It is an action you can do, though. It may not be a main action, but it is an action you can take in combat that is separate from Ready, and therefore something Ready can prepare for later. No more false than the idea that little r ready is referring to the Ready Action and not a different action. Specific beats general. It calls out movement as a specific exception to needing to ready an action. [/QUOTE]
