what i meant was that had vordak not skipped over the effects of the net then the roots would have hit in the second post when the effects would be wearing off. giving him that one post to try dodging it. thinking about it i find what you said hard to dispute, due to the implied short length of time that his post takes up. but since the actions that control the roots are mental rather than physical it's possible that he could have activated and either dodged or blocked the attack out of reflex, after all he grew up as a hunter/warrior so concentrating like that while fighting would be second nature to him as he needs to do so to gather his natural energy. and vordak even though the first two quotes were from earlier they are more than valid to prove the point i needed them to. in the previous posts i mentioned you used mainly if not only the strength and momentum of your fighters arms and sword for the heavy attack that you stated was to much for him to stop. in the newer post you have your entire body's momentum (which to pull off the move you're saying he did would have accelerated from nothing to at least 20meters a second) ((something i'm honestly finding hard to believe he could do even with that strength)) plus the strength and weight of his arms and sword. with the added momentum of the leap that sword should be in the ground due to the limitations you stated your character had.
