The mage does not really shine in avoid blow without any buffs or having human versatility and the talent.
Maybe together with „Energy Shield“...
Energy Shield with an extra thread for a party buff is something to keep in mind to make a bunch of mercenaries a pretty annoying guard for an evil mage boss fight

Oh, guess my version of the pdf isn't the final one (even so it was called FINAL Tue Nov 26, 2019 2:43 am
In my Ed4 PG page 356."This includes attacks which Avoid Blow would normally be denied, such as Blindside or Surprise attacks, but does not include those which Avoid Blow is never allowed, such as against most spells."

Than ofc you are right! Thanks for quoting.
But regarding the spells description, I don't understand, why the spell doesn't work for Steel Thought against Spells as well.
We're talking about a Wizard here and his newly found "sixth sence" wouldn't ignore spells directed at him
Perhaps I'd even houserule, that he is able to do so (Or invent a spell knack for it

The attacking character does not get his Momentum attack, and probably does not get his Air Dance Attack, and needs to pick another target (if he can do so without moving) for any Second Attack or Second Weapon attack he might want to have made. This is huge.
Also, at around 6th circle is when you are seeing more foes with multiple attacks each round, so Displace Self is not really as useful before then.

If your enemy have 3 attacks, he moved and you Avoid Blow moving away, he cannot use on you rest of attacks, thats BIG advantage.

- You can dodge while blindsided.
- You can dodge while being ambushed.
- You can dodge while being blind / in the dark.
- You can use avoid blow against spells which deal physical damage (not all characters have the talent Steel Thought).
- It needs no threads, so it is casted fast.
But the more I hear this, the clearer it becomes that every Caster-Displin has spells in higher circles that are not as strong as others. Or are only useful in certain situations.
As a warrior, for example, I would really like this buff if I have to fight against 6+ enemies at the same time and automatically receive 3+ attacks into my blind spot, which I couldn't avoid. A combat situation, which should occur rather rarely in lower circles (because you don't necessarily survive this there

I dont get the point behind the Displace Self Spell.
The spell target can do Avoid Blow test?
Thats all? Ok also for not seen attacks fine, but it's C6 Spell! Do I just understand it wrong?
