Backstab

Class Talents

You can inflict extra damage with an attack if you can strike an opponent from an unexpected direction or catch them unaware.

Effect

You must approach your opponent with a move action. Then you must win an opposed test of your Body trait vs. your target’s Mind trait. If you win the test, you can use your major action this round to Backstab him. This is an attack allows you to upgrade your attack die and add the roll of this die to the damage.

Side/Secondary Effects

You cannot Backstab an enemy that you begin your turn adjacent to (but see the Bluff power at level 4).
