Special Attacks[edit]

Blink Strike (Su): While the second soul is in the forefront, a Dual Soul may instantly appear in a square within their movement speed once per round. If the small teleportation would put the Dual Soul next to an enemy within their own threatened space, they may attack their target. If the Dual Soul has the Sneak Attack or Sudden Strike class feature their attack also procks those abilities due to the suddenness of the motion.
