Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Because of the way Counter Charge is activated, I ask either that my opponent not make his attack roll on a charge until I get a chance to assess the situation, or that I get to interject his attack roll with my Counter Charge attempt. Obviously the former is better, but whatever you decide.

You'll have to forgive me, but I am AFB ATM. I think I get the gist of what you are asking. May I suggest you ask your opponent:
If you are going to perform a charge in which I would be able to react to (you can give the specifics of Counter Charge) please declare the movement, but don't roll the attack until I have decided whether or not to use Counter Charge.
Like I said, I don't have my books with me right now so alter that to make sense. Hope that helps.

Think I have a better solution to the question at hand.
Kaganmonk, if you announce a Charge action for this match only, would you please spoiler the attack roll? The charge announcement and movement should be unspoilered. It's an unusual request, I know, but it'll help keep the match running a bit more smoothly, in this case.
@refs, reiswind:
Spoiler
There, now your opponent won't get undue information that he wouldn't already have, and you won't know the result of the roll until after you decide whether or not to use the ability. You may look in the spoiler only after you've decided and posted whether or not you'll counter charge.

Starting in Y14
Swift: Entering Step of the Wind stance
Move: Y14 to U22
Double Move: U22 to P26

I just want to make sure whether Step of the Wind negates the movement penalties associated with both the staircase and the undergrowth. If this is not the case, then start at Y13 instead, and move to U13.
Waiting on referees to confirm that it's your turn.
Re: Arena Tournament, Round 37: Running Fist vs Aeli
Er... I think you trigger an AoO from attempting to move through my Guisarme's threatened square. In which case I use Evasive Reflexes to 5step back to I15 instead of attacking. Can we get a ref to confirm?
Both attacks miss, by the way, and yeah, I don't mind telling you after the match. If you want to find out now, you could try charging me?
Stats

HP: 8/8, AC: 16
EDIT: If the Evasive Reflexes kicks in, you don't waste a use of your Stunning Fist, as much as I'd like you to miss it >_>

Evasive reflexes is correct. Instead of AoO for movement, opponent takes a 5 foot step to I15.
Play rewinds to that point.
Running Fist takes a move action, moves to I13 (from I10).
Aeli interrupts the move immediately after Running Fist enters I13, and takes a 5 foot step to I15.
