Question, how does my retaliate work? Do I use it instead of an attack or can I do both?

You can use an attack, and then plant yourself in front of the enemy waiting for an attack, so, it takes up a sort of 'end of turn' action, if you understand what I'm saying.

Oh, and, after my turn, the guy has 12/35 HP... magic is this guy's nemesis, lol. Anyways, I was supposed to do 13 damage, but, I got a poor hit die, so I took 1HP of damage, and deducted 2 from my damage score. I still hit the knight ONLY because of his slowness.
