[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6783170, member: 6799649"] Not true. He wrote the rules on how Readied actions work. According to those rules, the trigger can be any observable event. If the warlock can observe one beam before choosing what to do next, so can other observers, including an observer with a readied dispel. Wait, you're suggesting that the rules really are that actual time passes differently for the caster of a spell and everyone else? Which page is [I]that[/I] on? He, or the rules he wrote, might not tell us how long each action takes, but there is no reason to believe that a particular beam lasts a different period of time for each observer. To imagine that the caster has enough time to see what the results of the first beam are, then make a decision based on that observation about who to target next, while at the same time other people present for this event do not have the time to observe the exact same beam and make the decision to pull their trigger on their readied dispel, implies that time itself is moving at different speeds for each combatant. An interesting physics puzzle, but as a game mechanic I want to see that written in the PHB before I believe the game rules work that way! [/QUOTE]
