can a readied action trigger on your turn
What the title says.
In pathfinder 1e is anything stopping you from setting the trigger condition to go off immediately?
e.g.
Standard action, I ready an action to attack when I say cheese.
Free action, I say 'cheese' the readied action resolves.
I continue taking my turn.I am rel.

Re: can a readied action trigger on your turn
...Sure, why not. But I fail to see the point of this. Why not just use your standard action as normal when the trigger happens? You still can't use a readied action in the middle of a move or something.

Re: can a readied action trigger on your turn
Readied actions may be taken anytime before your next action. They occur just before the triggering action. Saying cheese is a free action.
So yeah, I guess this works. Barely. Go enjoy your overwatch style shenanigans.
Edit: Aaand I'm wrong. Missed a line in readying an action, as two posts below me pointed out.Last edited by Sneak Dog; 2021-11-10 at 09:32 AM.

Imho if we go strict RAW you'll get a straight "NO"..

Ah, too bad.
I saw an interesting interaction between monk of the 4 winds granting extra standard actions and rhino charge letting you ready a charge with a standard action.I am rel.

Re: can a readied action trigger on your turn
I thought of another approach.
Is it possible to ready multiple actions on your turn assuming you have access to multiple actions?I am rel.

Re: can a readied action trigger on your turn
It may be possible to ready a partial charge if you can restrict yourself to only being able to take a standard action during your turn.
So a zombie, for example, can ready a charge action.Last edited by Fouredged Sword; 2021-12-07 at 09:04 AM.
