Greetings!
Is there any published mechanic for fooling someone who has readied an action into taking that action--whether it be a feint, some other bluff mechanism, or another thing entirely? Naturally this only makes sense for certain conditions--"I ready an action to shoot any dragons that teleport in" would be impossible in most situations (though an illusion spell might be interesting!).
If not, I'm considering just calling it a feint or Bluff-vs.-either-Sense-Motive-or-Perception check depending on the condition in question.
Thanks!

Readied actions against spellcasters are very common, it would probably be pretty easy to fake the beginnings of casting a spell to draw the readied action. It's just probably going to be an attack that you are tricking them into doing early. If you are willing to take the hit on a successful feint, then I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it considering there is nothing written forbidding it.
