   All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any 
conversations: ArenaManager:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ok, before the match begins, I craft myself some scrolls.
  
  1 of these is surely a scroll of Nerveskitter. Which I will attempt to cast as an immediate action as I roll my initiative.
  
   (1d20+20)[ 38 ]  VS DC 21
  
  If succesful, my initiative gets a +4 bonus.
  
   (1d20+2)[ 17 ] +4 if above is succesful.
  
  Edit: Initiative of 21.
  
  
  Still thinking if I need anything else to craft.

conversations:  For the record, you can't fail on a UMD check with a +20 modifier vs DC 21, Bayar. The "blanked out if you roll a 1" only applies if you would fail the check with the 1.
  
  
   Try Again
  
  Yes, but if you ever roll a natural 1 while attempting to activate an item  and you fail , then you can’t try to activate that item again for 24 hours. 
conversations: Tanaric:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ok brutes gloves it is.
  You are starting, no way I can beat the initiative with a -4. Depending on any other purchases by you I might get something else.
conversations: lord sarthax:

conversations:  Your character build is designed around exasperating your opponents with decent AC and healing with your belt, while relying on your mount for mobility, right ?
  
  Need to study your previous fights to device a good strategy other than "I cast damage on you !".
