That's why people are having such a hard time with the sequence of events. When using the Lucky feat on your own rolls, it occurs after you roll the d20 but before you determine the outcome. That's because you can see the first result and you know when to use it. When using the feat on attack rolls against you it doesn't state when you have to use it. That's poor design and you can already see the arguments it causes. There are really only 2 ways to resolve how to do it: if the DM shows his rolls, the player can see what the roll was and get a clue whether you should use it or not the same as the player does if he is rerolling his own roll. If the DM, like most of them, does not show the players the rolls, the only available clue as to when the player can use the reroll is when the DM announces hit or miss. 3e and earlier editions really didn't have these types of actions (I can't think of any of them off of the top of my head). If they occurred at all, adjudication was completely ad hoc.</p></blockquote><p></p>
