[QUOTE="ryan92084, post: 6788459, member: 6802559"] I still don't understand your disagreement with me about the opportunity cost of using the ready action when there is nothing else available to do with your action. If there is "nothing effective" to do with your action besides take the ready action then the cost of taking the ready action is "nothing effective" and I don't rate that as high. If you/your DM allows ready actions outside of combat, which generally would be the case for a"if the other party attacks us" scenario, then the cost is still "nothing effective" since there isn't an action economy outside of combat. My mistake, I misread that you were attempting the target the actual concentration of the spell caster with your dispel. But I did address it later as you've found. I would not say concentration itself counts as a magical effect under the current rules. We were discussing the viability of breaking down the cast a spell action into casts a spell and resolution to which you replied therefore I don't think my response was off base. [I]Off topic[/I]: Line item quoting is going to makes this discussion difficult especially if when you comment on things that are continued later in the same quoted post. Directly quoting someone heavily implies you are responding to their points but I should have said "we/" are going off the point as it was just a phrase I was using to redirect my own post not a judgement on yours.
