[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 6878669, member: 6834463"] That's a "problem" inherent in the combat system, or more accurately; the way the combat system works in 5e. It works for players too, often better than for monsters. Whether or not that is a problem or not is purely subjective, but that is the way the system works. The fact that the ready action doesn't "fix" this "problem", doesn't mean anything unless it was intended to "properly deal with" that issue. It works fine for a whole lot of people as is, but can easily be ruled differently if that is an issue for some table. Splitting movement and using cover is one of the things my players love about 5e and it works great IME from both sides. [/QUOTE]
