...A medium creature has a Strength score of 158, assuming Improved Bull Rush. I'm not even going to question what's going on anymore and just roll with the crazy. I have a defensive modifier of +42, so if I have to fend off that bull rush, I'm going back anywhere from 35ft (natural 20) to 55ft. (natural 1)...so either way, I'll still get to pimpslap him back.<del>Going to attempt a Wall of Blades counter first, though, since you said that's an option, and it's the best option I have.<br/><br/>At 2012-05-26 11:51:26, TheGlyphstone (uid: 4194) rolls: 1d20a56 Result: 63 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38334) - Okay, so my Counter gives me an AC of 63 vs. his attack. You said he hit AC52 (my modified AC was 28), so does the attack miss now since he had to beat that untyped 63?</del><br/><br/>Actually, you are incorrect. Wall of Blades cannot be used if I am denied my Dexterity bonus to AC, which a surprise attack did. Thus, I cannot counter it and am pushed back 98-59 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38348)=38/5=7 squares, or 35 feet. That's still well within my reach, I'm too big to be affected by my own tornado (it emanates from me anyways), and I'm too high up to be knocked into the water.<br/><br/>Step 2 - his Chained Greater Dispel Magic effect (because it must be Chained to hit my items, a normal GDM would only strip me of active spells): Fails vs. my Belt of Battle, my Ring of Cold Immunity+Earthen Grasp, my Diamond Mind Ring, succeeds on everything else for 4 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38349) rounds.<br/><br/>Step 3: My Readied Action resolves, attacking his Normal AC (as I am currently Corporeal) and hitting AC54. Presumably that misses. As that would technically drop me below him in initiative, I suppress my storm and expend a Moment of Alacrity to add +20 to my initiative, restoring me to act before him, 35ft. distant, at the beginning of the next round. Am I clear to take my turn?<br/><br/>(Also, while it is comparatively irrelevant, he is an Airborne creature when he made that attack, so it dealt 1 less damage thanks to my Air Mastery.)
