nebbish instructor

You are fighting a nebbish instructor.

Like a short-lived Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this guy is a soft-spoken, nerdy little man. He's probably scared of his own shadow, too.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• He pulls off his hat and turns around. Hey! There's a face on the back of his head! Ack! (psychic) damage
• He mutters some orders at you. You strain so hard to hear him that you actually pull something.
• He's so very polite as he asks you to hit yourself, that you actually do it, so as not to hurt his feelings.

He hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• He shows you the face on the back of his head, but the lack of nose is silly, not scary.
• He mutters some orders to you, but you just ignore him.
• He politely asks you to hit yourself, but you haven't fallen for that since Biff tried it back in school.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! He takes X damage.
