Edit2: I'm blind! Aghhh. I think I need glasses. Keep it as is. I have no idea how I transposed the T and the V, but T-8 is correct.

Eh? You flying? Sure it isn't V8? Well, either way...

Predator form has 50' movespeed, and I counted exactly 100 feet for that...


Bear Force, round 5

Partial move to Y-13. Will revise if I trigger your readied action, otherwise will complete the turn.

[Sallera]

Ah, no, I just didn't realize you'd actually run all the way around. No worries then.

Anyway, in my own case of fail, I forgot to free up a hand before readying that action, so it's useless. I'll just take my AoO instead...

Hang on.

Deciding between an Attack or a Full Attack

After your first attack, you can decide to take a move action instead of making your remaining attacks, depending on how the first attack turns out. If you’ve already taken a 5-foot step, you can’t use your move action to move any distance, but you could still use a different kind of move action.

Since I didn't actually take the 5-ft step (you were standing in that square), I still have a move action after you Abrupt Jaunt.

To avoid metagaming, I won't avoid your crit, instead 5-ft stepping to...

Oh, it doesn't matter anyhow. Doublecrit.

[Sallera]

And, um, crit confirm? May as well?
Confirm: (1d20+9)[29]
Damage: (1d6+13)[15]

Edit: Right, well, go ahead then.

[Tanaric]

Nah. It would hardly be fair to avoid your crit by moving in a way I wouldn't have. You win this one.

Rematch?

[Sallera]

Nah, go ahead, do whatever you would have done. May as well. (As an aside, rather amusing how similar these builds are, despite the different means used to get there.)

Edit: Gah, the problems with communicating on forums. Yes, certainly, may as well have a rematch.

[Tanaric]

*shrug*

Hokay...

I would have 5-ft stepped toward you.

I then get punched in the face. Really, really hard.

Edit: EDIT WARZ!

[Sallera]

... right then.

Obscuring Mist.

Mist spreads out and up 20 feet from B-13.

Feel free to make spot checks in the open, if you want. I'll tell you if you see anything.

Edit: I'll assume you can see any of the mist's edge squares at all times, by the by. If you can't, oh well. Such is the price we pay for exhibitions, and I'll take the hit if need be. Or think of something creative.

Edit2: Actually, I think I've got it. Doesn't inconvenience either of us.
