Ability: Stops opponent attacks
Messages
When blocking:
- Your teenage sidekick shouts, "Duck, <player_name>!" at exactly the right time. You duck, and your foe misses.
- Your teenage sidekick gets really charged up, and shouts, "Holy moly articholey! I mean hokey smokey artichokey! I mean, wowsers! No, like, gadzooks! Or something!" Your opponent is so confused by the inane string of verbiage that no attack is possible.
Otherwise:
- The teenager ineffectively shouts, "Zoinks, that looks dangerous!"
- The teenager whines, "Schnikes, this is getting serious. I shouldn't be here!"
- Somewhere off to the size you can hear the teenager mutter, "Jinkies, I hope that baddie doesn't see me!"
- The teenager erupts with a strange utterance that sounds kind of like, "Oh crikey, oh eck, oh crumb. Oh narf!" and tries to hide.
If you have a sidekick that already blocks attacks then:
- The teenager seems entirely too awed by your sidekick. You're supposed to be the awesome one here!
Notes
- Block rate is about (9.1% ± 1%).
