@CogYour starting position is wrong (player color name corresponds to start position). the mirror for your declared postionwould be I9. If this is correct, press 1.

Waiting on clarification.

I'll correct my position on my next turn. Do I have LoS from my new position?

[RPGAgmJAY]

I'm 10' away from you. How do you get an AoO against me?

If you do, I'm dead.

If not, your crusader strike missed and I'll be taking my turn...

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[Sallera]

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...

[RPGAgmJAY]

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'.

[Sallera]

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.
Range Increment
Any attack at less than this distance is not penalized for range. However, each full range increment imposes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll.
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.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

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!

[RPGAgmJAY]

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.

Good Gaming!
-Jason

[Sallera]

Thanks. Cog honestly had me thinking this was nigh-unwinnable with that 25 AC. Probably would have been had I not realized Charging Minotaur didn't require an attack roll. :smalltongue:
