[OOC: In my few years of gaming ready has always been able to be used before or after a trigger. For example, readying an action to hit someone coming through a door. If it happened before the trigger, you still wouldn't be aware of it or you would hit the door. Meanwhile a delay would allow that character or npc to finish his turn and possibly ruin your delayed action by disabling you.]
