SILHOUETTE

SILHOUETTE
Syntax: passive

  Assassin rogues trained in this art learn to melt into nearby shadows
at the instant of an incoming attack, causing the blow to pass harmlessly
through the space where they stood a heartbeat ago.  This instinctive
evasion operates independently of conventional defenses such as parry
or dodge.

  The technique requires a measure of composure and cannot be relied
upon immediately after creating a decoy.
