A readied action takes place on your opponents turn. Dropping an item is a free action, regripping your weapon is either a free or a move action. You cannot perform free or move actions during your opponents turn. All you can do take your readied action and include a 5' step if you didn't move the turn you readied an action.

Remind us, regripping your weapon from one hand to two, is that a free action?

[Mavian]

I believe it is, was mentioned in a Rules of the Game article about somatic components and two-handed weapons.

[Bayar]

My turn ?

[Mavian]

Should be, I don't think anythings changed in the initiative order.

Depending of the outcome of this match, I might retire bam and make another char, since I got some more experience since I first created him. I only used Sudden Maximise once. I mean , WTF ?

That also triggers my readied action.

Magic missile!

(1d4+1)[4]

[Kyeudo]

So, if I understand how this works correctly, my sonic ray attack triggers your ready action to move, which triggers the BAM's ready action to shoot you.

That makes the inititive order:
The BAM
Todd
Drago

I believe the BAM is up next, since your ready action triggering skipps your turn.

[Mavian]

I do believe so.

[Bayar]

nonono....I think that now it is his turn, then mine, then yours.

First, you should end your turn. because you triggered his action to move while it was your turn, and he triggers my action to shoot him, all readied actions are resolved. Now you have to call end turn, or use up any actions you can take (if any), say end turn, and it is his turn. Then it is my turn.

[Mavian]

It's your turn Bayar. He's got no actions left to use anyways.

It's your turn. Havent I been specific enough ?
