Given some people's desire to protect the status quo, I'm about to give up on this one. Last proposal:

"There is someone standing behind your victim, blocking your attack."

changes to:

"3.wraith is standing behind your victim, blocking your attack."

Assuming the wraith is visible. And it will always report the guy immediately behind the target, even if the original target was originally in row 1 and the wraith is in row 2 with an additional wraith behind both of them. Then if you bs 3.wraith you might see:

"5.wraith is standing behind your victim, blocking your attack."

Once again, this is for backstab, circle stab and hamstring.

Peso will allow this. Go fourth my son and make this change!

Yeah both the back and front commands would be very helpful. I'm surprised D is listening so closely to one or two naysayers, especially given he's usually wont to just do what he wants and (not) ask forgiveness later

If this on IS one that you want a consensus on, maybe run a poll? I'm pretty sure you'd get overwhelming results in the positive.

Huh? One or two people that disagree represent the status quo?

Mainly just Hello Kitty so far.

Status quo means 'the existing state of affairs'. So yes, you can have someone representing it, even if they aren't in the majority.

I made a poll. Hopefully that will help. This is definitely an idea worth pursuing.

I should have used the word "representative" of the status quo. One or two people voicing their dissent to this change is not representative of the status quo. Like Jhorleb suggested previously, a poll would definitely show this.

I'm all for this, or for the behind feature, now that the question of visibility's been addressed.

The thread's been polled, now, so we can get a show of hands.

Deleted this poll because the other one pre-existed it and I liked the multiple voting options better.
