If your opponent attacks you directly and you use enchanted javelin, does it negate the attack first then increases your life points or do you lose life points and then gain the same amount? In other words, if you use enchanted javelin against a battle ox, which has 1700 attack, thats attacking you directly with 4300 life points, do you end up with 6000 life points or 4300?
