Timely Inspiration Against Target with Lots of AC Modifiers

[LordBalkoth]

So say a party member rolls an attack against an enemy who is currently under a lot of AC modifiers. The program says he misses. But wait, the party bard wants to add in timely inspiration! He adds 2!

How do you actually deal with that? And/or is there a way to determine what a creature's AC is without trying to figure out the sum total of every effect on it?

If you, as the DM, don't know if the 2 makes a difference, then put two in the modifier box and re-drag the attack roll onto the enemy. It will add the two and recalculate the roll and will tell you if it was a hit or miss.

Wow, useful trick, LordEntrails.

then put two in the modifier box and re-drag the attack roll onto the enemy

Oh wow, that is brilliant, thanks. Didn't realize the modifier box was so flexible.

Easy, nice 'n' elegant LordEntrails. Thank you for posting it here.

Oh, you're all welcome. But I learned it from someone else posting it somewhere at sometime in some thread hearabouts :)
