I was looking at the Battlemind today and have a question about order of operations.
The Resilient Battlemind has an encounter power written as:
Battlemind Resilience
Encounter * Free Action
Personal
Keywords: Psionic
Trigger: An attack hits you or misses you for the first time during an encounter.
Effect: Until the end of your next turn, you gain resistance to all damage equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Level 11: Resist 6 + your Wisdom modifier
Level 21: Resist 9 + your Wisdom modifier
My question is this:
Since this is a free action that is triggered on a hit/miss, which can be used at any time during your own turn, or during another creatures turn, does the effect happen BEFORE that attack's damage is rolled (thus the resistance applies to the initial attack), or does the effect happen AFTER the initial attack's damage is rolled (thus the resistance is only good against any further attacks that happen against you that round)?
