@JeremyECrawford Can you ready your character to move over when someone approaches them? Or id dodge your only option? — Matthew Z (@Zaboomatthew) September 16, 2015 See the Ready action (PH, 193). It lets you move or take an action in response to a trigger. #DnD https://t.co/dU5a5a90mJ — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 17, 2015
@JeremyECrawford How does Readying a spell work? Do you lose your spell slot if the trigger effect never occurs? — John F Ezell (@EZotor_23) August 29, 2015 A readied spell's slot is lost if you don't release the spell with your reaction before the start of your next turn. https://t.co/0K59zeZLjX — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August […]
@JeremyECrawford Is it possible to take a Dodge Action and a Bonus Action (for using a spell already cast) in the same turn? — CKZ (@misterkoshev) July 30, 2015 Yes.

@JCrawfordMusicCan you ready an action after having used a move and/or bonus action? You can take your action, including the Ready action, whenever you like on your turn. @mikemearls — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 1, 2015
@pizzystrizzyCan a PC ready a grapple attempt? Normally it requires the Attack Action, but the limit on what can be readied is unclear. Yes, you can ready a grapple. Unless otherwise stated, you can ready any (non-bonus) action. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 28, 2015
@luminapinaMage slayer/ready action hits while casting a spell. Should there be a concentration check for all spells, excl. maybe cantrips? readied action takes place after trigger, so first spell then attack. No check needed. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 8, 2014 @luminapinaOkay, thank you. So Counterspell is the only way to interrupt the casting of […]
