Dodge

Use: 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 (a Parry check is described in the combat chapter) Difficulty: Typically, dodge attempts are opposed, 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. Opposed Rolls: Dodge rolls are most often in direct opposition to Attack Rolls to determine damage dealt. Retry: Dodge attempts cannot be retried without the expenditure of a fate point.
