As I went reading the new beautiful hero classes of the future extension

I wonder myself : a shadow walker, a mage with mirror images, a dual wielding warrior... where have I already seen this ?

And the obvious answer is : with Shadowdancer, Illusionist and Reaver custom class from Feonix

I must admit though that apart from the name, the Axe wielder shadow walker is not quite the cloak and dagger assasin of the shadow dancer.

But the Conjurer/Illusionist and the Skirmisher/Reaver have clear common inspiration.

Is this pure luck or do FFG is officialy making a tribute to one great work of the BGG Descent community ?
