The character was subject to four attacks (from four different foes) from wands of some sort that dealt 108 hp of acid damage total. Because the character had only 81 hp, she was quite sincerely dead. However, the character had a ring of counterspells in which she had cast Dispel Magic. The description of the item from SRD3.0 is:"This ring allows a single spell of 1st through 6th level to be cast into it.  Should that spell ever be cast upon the wearer, the spell is immediately countered, as a counterspell action, requiring no action (or even knowledge) on the wearer’s part. Once so used, the spell cast within the ring is gone. A new spell (or the same one as before) may be placed in it again."If one of the attacks could be counterspelled by this ring, then she would not take damage from one of the attacks and still be alive. However, from the strict interpretation of the description above, I'm guessing the attack wouldn't have triggered the Dispel Magic. What say you?</blockquote>
