Readying an action triggers Corey's readied action.

Drop whetstone
(1d20-2)[14]
(1d6)[3]
Reflex for none.

If the damage from that attack puts you negative, you readying an action will cause another point of damage.

My turn. Corey draws a whetstone, then readies another action

i don't believe you can ready an action if i ready an action... but either way my readied action would take place.. but i want clarification on that...

and not to mention readying an action would not cause damage if i was disabled, the action i ready may, but not readying the action...

partial answer:

Ready action

...Readying is a standard action...

[chilepepper]

I don't know what round # we're on, so I'll use letters instead. Here's what happened.


Round A
You readied an action (post 91)
Corey readied an action (post 92)

Round B
You readied an action (technically you can't maintain a readied action, you simply ready the same action) (post 93)

The act of you readying an action in round B triggered Corey's readied action from round A. During your turn in round B, right before you readied an action, Corey drops the whetstone. Since this is during your turn, your readied action from round A has already passed. You can't take your readied action when it's your turn.

The ready action lets you prepare to take an action later, after your turn is over but before your next one has begun.

Round C, now Corey goes before you
Corey readies another action (second half of post 94)

[stupnick]

ok, i understand taking a point of damage for readying a move action, but i don't agree...

and i still completely disagree that you can ready an action for if i ready an action.. that's CRAP...... and i don't believe it can be done.

[chilepepper]

Readying an action is a physical, visible action. Anything I can perceive can be used as a trigger.

[Talic]

Ref Talic

On the points:

Readying is a standard action. Thus, when you ready an action, even if you ready a move action or a swift action, the ready itself is standard. Thus, after readying, you do take damage if disabled.

Readying has been shown to be a visible action. Thus, your opponent knows when you perform the action of readying (just not what action you ready or the trigger). Anything your opponent can notice can be used as the trigger for a ready action.
