The Back Flip involves throwing oneself backwards with the arms and shoulders, flipping the legs completely up, over, and back down on to the ground, into a standing position. The result is one quickly moves backwards by a full body length.
A Back flip counts as 1 melee attack/action and can be used as a Dodge or for entertainment.
If used in place of a Dodge, the character must roll higher than the opponent's Strike roll (do not include any Dodge bonuses). Failure to beat the Strike means taking full normal damage (without the chance to Roll With Punch). Success means avoiding the attack like a Dodge.
