The most common action to take in combat is the Attack action, whether you are swinging a sword, firing an arrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists. 5E movement and Readied actions OK so I was thinking about this. one of the things you can do is move your full movement as a reaction, but in 5E you can break up your movement between attacks etc. With this action, you make one melee or ranged attack. The "readied action" becomes a reaction, and follows the same rules as all reactions. The PC gets ready to strike and taunts the opponent.

Since still … It is possibly to ready an action that may trigger on your turn. 4 years ago. when readying an action, you state the action you're readying, and the circumstances under which you will do it. In 5e, "Ready Action" is an action you take on your turn. If your concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking effect. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell's magic requires concentration. The only difference over abilities is that you get to set your own reaction trigger, which can be the same or different as any reaction's trigger predefined by a class ability, which was the point of posting the list of abilities above. Example, Ready Action Attack, trigger “attacked when moving”, move provoking opportunity attacks…if enemy uses reaction to attack, after attacked, player uses reaction for readied action attack. For example, if you are concentrating on the web spell and ready magic missile, your web spell ends, and if you take damage before you release magic missile with your reaction, your concentration might be broken.
