Those who excel at Dodging are rather difficult to hit. The dodge skill is central to defensive combat. Every attack of which a character is aware can be thwarted with a successful Dodge or Parry check.
Difficulty
Typically, one would use the Dodge skill as part of the Defense Roll, and the DL will be that of the attack coming at the defending character. The GM can institute a DL for a task that has no opposed roll, for instance, getting out of the way of a collapsing ceiling beam or slipping out of the path of that devious trap you just triggered.
Opposed Rolls
Dodge rolls are most often in direct opposition to Attack Rolls to determine damage dealt.
