  Now these two paragons of opposite ideals face off, beings of Terrible Magnificence, and a being of Questionable Past who has choosen the path of good.

   Mind Over Body:  Replacing Fort save against Avasculate's stun effect with a Concentration check -  (d20+56)[ 75 ] 
  
  Alessandro takes the damage of the spell as nonlethal due to his Regeneration, and heals 10 points of it.
  
  If he succeeds on the "save", he does the following:
  
  His stance shifts slightly again (adopts Giant's Stance) and Quick Draws his greatsword as a free action. With another free action, he draws his hand across his face, leaving it covered by a skeletal mask (enter rage - Strength increases to 48, Dex to 30, Con to 42, AC to 90)
  
  He then charges the ethergaunt, his doubled speed of 260ft more than enough to close the gap. He makes a single attack with his greatsword.
  
   (d20+58)[ 59 ] 
  Alessandro uses Emerald Razor to make the attack as a touch attack, and expends Strike of Ancient Clarity for an extra 100 damage. If it hits, it does  (3d6+134)[ 147 ]  damage.
  
  Regardless of whether the attack hits or not, Thzan  must make a Will save, DC 26, or become shaken by Alessandro's presence of the Archfiend.

conversations:  Umm, I believe I get to CHOOSE where I plane shift you with the prismatic effect... If I'm mistaken go ahead, but if I remember correctly it just says your shifted to plane, and unstated I'd say per the ruling of the spell I choose, and I choose the Negative Energy plane.
  
  Also, your sword is disentergrated no save.

  Last turn, Alessandro Regenerated another 10 damage, and does so again this turn.
  
  He then uses his perfect precision  plane shift  (granted by Dark Transient) to appear directly behind Thzan.

  During that time, I lay down a delayed, energy substituted (electricity), empowered (rod), maxmized (rod), Meteor Swarm. Epic Virtue (Epic Meta Magic) twice makes this possible to cast by me. Then the fact that it's centered on the square he's going to appear in (Anticipate Teleport tells me this.), and a delayed  waves of exhaustion also set to go off when you come back, where you come back.

  Alessandro arrives after the two rounds. The electricified meteor swarm find much of their power lost against his electricity immunity. The wave of exhaustion hits him a moment afterwards. He falls to his news for a moment, before he surges back upward, his eyes glowing with a fierce new light (standard action to expend Iron Heart Surge).
  
  He then lowers his stance, waiting.

conversations:  Both hit, but you need to roll against SR 62. Even with Assay Spell Resistance, you need a 12 to get past it. Assuming you have nothing other than CL 30 and the +20 bonus form ASR.
  
  Also, I removed Waves of Exhaustion on my turn with Iron Heart Surge (its automatic, no checks to make).

   (1d20+53)[ 69 ]  It's a regular attack, so I doubt it will hit, if it does though.
  
   (3d6+24)[ 37 ] 
  
  All the grapples succeed in some way, but all manage to be repelled by a freedom of movement effect (you auto make the check, so I might as well tell you.)
