Dodge

Dodge is a type of avoidance that allows you to completely evade an enemy's attack.

For PCs, Dodge is calculated as:

• Dodge = 10 + Dex bonus
• This can be modified by items, gems, enchants, and powers.

To use Dodge, follow this process:

• When attacked, before you know the result of the attack, roll your Dodge chance.
  • On success, the attack is avoided entirely.
  • On failure, the attack is suffered fully.

Dodge may be used under the following conditions:

• The attack is not an area effect
• You are aware of the attacker
• The attack is coming from your forward arc
• You are not pinned
• You are not wearing heavy armor

Dodge may be used at half effectiveness (cut your Dodge chance in half) under the following conditions:

• You are rooted or suffering 100% movement penalty
• You are wearing medium armor

Since Dodge and Parry are both forms of avoidance, you may not attempt both against the same attack. You must choose only one per attack.
