Flatfooted

Maybe you could put something in that if you are attacked from behind, and it is the first strike of combat you are flatfooted. You lose all your avoidance and mitgation bonouses for a certain duration. Kinda makes it more real because if a mob sneaks up behind you and shouldnt be able to parry his attack =)
 
Thats a cool idea, but i dont think flatfooted is the best name for it.

Maybe something like ambush or suprise attack?
 
This is the case for all attacks from behind, not just the first. You lose all dodge/parry/riposte/etc.
 
I had no idea you already lost your defensive abilites, I just thought you could get stunned. Maybe if you displayed a message saying something like "You are flat-footed, TARGET has attaking you from behind" or something.
 
or if you are getting attacked and can't see it...its probably behind you...don't really need a message for that
 
Uhm btw. I can dodge if I am attacked from behind. Dunno if its active now or not since the last surprise from behind is a while back, tho

I allways wondered, how the hell can this fleeing HG dodge my attacks to his butt? ;)
