	Don't you mean, which ever is less?


	Having it happen on even numbers would
make it occur too often, IMO.   A special,
unusual attack becomes pretty mundane if it
happens about half the time.

	I kind of like the idea that it is
triggered by the enemies' attack.  Picture
Jackie Chan with his arms held behind his
back being hit by other figures.  He twists
so that the first attack hits the arm of
the guy holding him, his foot sweeps around
kicking the next guy over a sofa.  These
blows are allowed even tho he is pinned.

	Such events just can't occur in regular
TFT.

	All talents in TFT have a minimum IQ.  I
don't think that this talent should break that
rule.

	If you wanted to drop the IQ requirement
so low IQ figures can fight dirty, then having
some sort of penalty such as you suggest would
sit a lot better with me.
