Just a quick rules question. I know I can move, then ready a standard action.

But can I move, perform a standard action, and ready a minor action? I don't see why not.

Most with lactose intolerance can actually eat cheese. Frozen custard, OTOH... Let's just say that it's akin to a Cardinals fan showing up in Wrigleyville.

Jul 21, 2009 3:21:02 You could only do it by spending an Action Point. It would give you an extra action which you would take as a Standard to Ready your wanted action.

And with your remaining Minor action, you could spend it throwing the cheese you just ingurgitated because of the intolerance to Lactose...;)

Oh, And make sure you do not act in anyway before your trigger take place, because it's an Immediate reaction, and you can only take one Immediate Action per Round !..:P
