[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 383066, member: 2358"] That happens when hours take place between turns. I, as a player, can't be expected to remember everything my characters know. Except I had readied a partial charge. (Changed from delay once you explained that what you did was not actually a ready action. That made all the difference in my tactics. I took your words literally, not figuratively, and thought you were readying an attack action.) Rules are not semantic, though. The difference in wording and initiative and our actions was very important. No, makes no sense at all for a Half-Orc Barbarian to want to enter melee. :rolleyes: When you say "ready" I interpret as "ready" as per the core rules. If not, you should have said "brandished" or "holding" instead of "readied". We can't apply reality to the game. You should know better! I was merely going by the stated rules, to make it simple. We can't make a test to test ECL as it pertains to the core rules if we do not use the core rules in conjunction with the test. I never said you were flat-footed. Your AC was reduced to 33 because you Gloves of Dexterity, Bracers of Armor, and Amulet of Natural Armor were turned off in the Antimagic Field. Fact is, by the definition of Antimagic Field, it was indeed possible. Incisor was within the Antimagic Field while Gregory and the Large Earth Elemental were not. I'm just going by the rules here. That is not even implied in the rules. The PH says that a spell can be dismissed as a standard action, and says nothing about it being an actual spell. If you can find anywhere in the books where a rule states that you are unable to dismiss spells from within an Antimagic Field, then I will concede. No such rule exists. [/QUOTE]
