Back Attack clarification from author
:::No comment on the class yet, haven't read much into it. What it sounds like though doesn't sound good. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] 23:15, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
::::I tried to make this recognizable recognizably more powerful than a rogue and somewhere around a wizard. I don't think it's significantly more powerful than a wizard, though; it only scores 8/10 or 9/10 on Same Game Tests due to a distinct lack of killing power. It can dodge just about anything, and it's ''incredibly'' annoying in a fight, but it hits like a monk and can't heal itself. [[User:Vebyast|Vebyast]] 06:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
== Back Attack question ==
::You don't need to take combat reflexes. It can automatically take an unlimited number of AoOs at level one thanks to Opportunism. This class seems like it would be a really good dip for something like a Tenken (although you'd probably only see it with the Tome one) for a huge amount of base speed (especially if it's a Speedened 1/Tenken 19 because then you've got a full attack against any enemy that provokes anywhere in the battle).
:::Yeah, stupid synergy with Tome Tenken. Bladewind and Astra, ow ow ow. Thankfully, Blueshift+Astra doesn't kick in until Level 13, by which time Wizards are throwing around 7th-level spells.
:::Also, that is the intended meaning - once you take that, you threaten everything everywhere. As Havvy points out, though, that's Wizard-level, and threatening people isn't incredibly useful unless you build your character around it. The real question, as Eiji-kun points out above, is where in Wizard it falls.
