  Woooooaaaaah pony, back up now!
  
  In post 12, Neftren took an illegal readied action.  Your action was to shoot, not take a 5' step AND THEN shoot.  You could ready for one or the other, but not take both in conjunction.
  
  We need to go back to that round.  Heleroen's readied action was never triggered as LoE was never established.  Redo that round's actions Neftren.
  
  Also, for both of you, please, please use stat blocks and please do NOT say "same readied action" as then we have to go back up and look up what that same readied action was.

   You can take a 5-foot step as  part of your readied action , but only if you don’t otherwise move any distance during the round. 
  
  Whaddya mean by not having LoE?  I'm on K14 and he clearly moves to L15.  You're telling me that I don't have LoE?
  
  I took a Five Foot Step as part of the action on his round.
  
  It also really doesn't matter what he does.  He's still wielding a bow.  That'd be an improvised weapon.  The only way for him to kill me would be to get a Nat 20 then Crit on it on his AoO for walking away.

conversations.value: Bronz: Alright I admit I maybe wrong on the rules about the 5' step as part of a readied action.
  
  Can you link that?

  It's right  here  Bronz.
  
   Heleroen is declared the winner and gets the spoils of war. 
   I hope Heleroen is Neftren's character

conversations.value: Neftren: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/spe...iveActions.htm 
  
  And I don't see where I don't have LoE when I fired...
  
  and yes, Heleroen is my character :D
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bronz: Thanks Terran.  And your 5' step was what was confusing Neftren.  Your actual language on your readied action was "if he comes within my LoE".  Since you 5' stepped I assumed he wasn't already, and thus the chaos.
  
  But, I am wrong, and I admit it.  Thanks Terran for cleaning up the mess.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Neftren: Excellent.  Now if Naked Dave wins, I can hopefully beat him this time instead of it ending up on a critically hitting AoO to finish it...
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bayar: actually, I surrendered....his char scared the **** out of me...so beat up Grez and lets have a round 2 !
