Hi,
I'm building a cavalier with a lance and I thought about an uncommon, but possible situation :
What if the npc makes a ready action vs my cavalier like "I'll use a move action towards the cavalier as soon as he is in my move range"
Then the cavalier charges.
Flow is interrupted when the cavalier is about 30ft away.
Here's the possibilities IMO :
1 The npc goes in front of the cavalier, provoking an AoO (because reach) AND the cavalier completes the charge as normal with ride-by attack.
2 Like #1 but breaking the ride-by attack because the npc is blocking the way.
3 The npc goes in front of the cavalier, NOT provoking AoO because the cavalier is in the middle of a charge, and completing the charge as normal.
4 Provoking AoO, but interrupting (read cancelling) the charge since a lance can't attack at 5ft distance.
5 No attacks whatsoever (less likely)
6 Can't make a ready action in the middle of a charge?
Note : You can't initiate a charge with a ready action so the NPC can only move. I think it would be the 2nd possibility, but IDK. English is not my first language so, sorry. Thank you!
