Tormented hero

tormented hero

You are fighting a tormented hero.

This former hero fell victim to the Tormentor long ago and has been sent here for treatment. Locked in a hellish battle within his mind, the hero only acknowledges the outside world by attempting to pulverize anything or anyone that comes near him. It's a nasty habit, but one that's understandably difficult to remedy.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

The hero decides he needs to smash anything that's in his cell and more than 3.5 feet away from him. Unfortunately for you, you just dodged backwards and were standing 4 feet away at the time.
The hero kicks you unto next week, and then drags you back again--by your hair.
"Get out of my head," the hero shouts, pummeling you. Apparently he thinks you're an illusion. After the beating is over, you wish you had been imaginary.

He hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

Your opponent has a critical hit! He hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

The tormented hero strikes out at and demolishes the three objects nearest him: his bed, the night stand, and a fly that happens to zip by right before he can get to your face.
You grab the closest thing you can find to defend yourself with: a stuffed bunny rabbit. The hero shrieks and throws himself across the room to get away from the plush toy.
The tormented hero decides you're probably as imaginary as the voices in his head, and tries to ignore you.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! He takes X damage.
