RE: (TFT) backstabbing, & mental stun --> no twists.

Hi all,
	Is it Stan who posted below?

	I agree completely. I don't allow twists for
such sneak attacks and it is pretty easy to get
mentally stunned for 1/2 of a movement phase
(just enough to lose your first movement of combat
which includes the twist).

	Forgot to mention it in my main post.  Good
thinking.

	Rick

Subject: (TFT) backstabbing, what is it good for?


With some folks getting all 1950s on us and doin' the twist, I 
think it's worth noting that if a figure is suddenly attacked 
by a figure he is unaware of (say, by a thief using Silent 
Movement from behind), he probably should not be allowed to 
twist and avoid the backstab.  (Otherwise backstabbing by a 
lone thief or other sneaky-type becomes totally impossible.)

Such a provision may be stating the obvious, but I think 
it's worth spelling out to forestall any rules-lawyering 
on the matter.   

I suppose if one wanted, a 'sixth sense' talent could be added 
to specifically *allow* twisting under such a circumstance.
