conversations:  Bull rush moves you into your opponent's space, yes?  Unless Charging Minotaur explicitly states otherwise (at work right now, can't check), that puts me in K21.  I presumed you knew you were 5ft away, since you didn't take a range penalty on your fire tossing.  That and, well, since I can only hit you on a nat 20 anyway...
conversations: Sallera:
conversations: human
conversations:  You moved into K21 and pushed me back to L21. I ment to step back to M21 but read the map wrong and now I see I typed L22.
  
  I'm pretty pissed off about a typo screwing me over. I thought I was 10' away from you otherwise I wouldn't have used a splash weapon that apparently damaged me for 1 point of fire damage as well.
  
  No range penalty for 10' away either. Thrown items have a range incr of 10'.
conversations: RPGAgmJAY:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ah, I see, that does make more sense.  As I say, it was mostly the lack of a range penalty that had me thinking you did that deliberately.

  So it does take a -2 at 10ft.
  
  *shrug* Dunno what to say about it, really.  If I hadn't taken that AoO, then those rolls would have instead been my Crusader's Strike, and you'd be dead anyway?  Hard to judge a situation like that.
  
  Edit: Just going to have a High Ref decide what happens.

  Well, I'm sorry, Jay, but it looks like you got screwed over by that typo. If your typo had been an illegal move, we could rewind to there, but as it is legal and you didn't mention it until after his turn I believe we should let your action stand, else someone down the road may try to use this match as precendent to get their own movement declared a "typo." As such:
  
   Ayl is the Winner! 
conversations: Kyeudo:
conversations: human
conversations:  I agree. The match was won on the roll of a natural twenty, regardless of my actions previously. Very well played with a good character build, which leaves me nothing to feel bad about in this loss.
  
  Congrats.
