Action rule
Ready
Ready is an action economy rule used to describe what a creature can do on its turn.
What It Is
Ready lets you prepare an action for a specific trigger before your next turn.
This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.
How To Use It
Choose the trigger and what you will do. If the trigger happens, you can use your reaction to perform the readied response.
Limits And Rolls
- Ready spends your action now and your reaction later.
- If the trigger never happens, the readied response is lost.
- Readying a spell can require concentration until the trigger resolves.
- You only roll when the rule, DM, spell, item, or feature asks for a roll.
