[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6788674, member: 6801315"] Wrong. Readying an action is not meant to give an advantage or a disadvantage simply by taking the ready action. It's sole purpose is to let you do something outside of your turn as a reaction. That could have advantageous or disadvantageous results. Or worse, you might not even get to do your thing because the trigger never happens. Tying readied actions with a definite "this is meant to be good for you to do" is just you showing your bias in this discussion. You're making sweeping statements that just aren't true. Readying an action must be good and must provide a benefit ergo you're right and readied actions must work the way you claim without need of rules text apparently...? Nonsense. Mage slayer specifies that it triggers when someone casts a spell, so since you do in fact cast a spell when you ready and instead hold the effects until you release then the answer is yes. This was previously answered by Ryan. You can't hold a readied action beyond your next turn. This is a fact and has been directly stated by dev tweet before IIRC. Even if what you say is true and that there's no direct rule (I believe there is for the record and you just either didn't read it or whatever), a lack of evidence doesn't make you right or validate any of the baseless claims you've been making! lol I believe that would fall within the good ol' argument from silence routine.
