{{UnderConstruction|users=Tempest}} '''Evading''' (or '''Evasion''') is the name of a '''non-combat skill''', representing a character's ability to make evasive movesmaneuvers, including such as parrying and counter-attacks.

There are no specific requirements to practice the Evading skillsskill; each any creature can perform evading ability has its own requirements insteadabilities.

The Evading skill covers three two abilities: Evade, ParryDodge, and Counter, all three of which will be covered in the sections below.

== Evade Dodge ==

A character may attempt performing to perform a '''EvadeDodge''' (or '''Dodging''') as a non-combat action for the turn. The character attempting Dodge implies the use of evasive maneuvers to Evade must "target" an enemy creature, in order to try and evade any avoid being hit by incoming attacks coming , or parrying maneuvers to stop them from that enemy for the turndealing any damage. Evade works against both melee In practice, the game considers that there is no difference between dodging and ranged attacksparrying.

If a A character attempting Evade has correctly guessed to Dodge will attempt to dodge any attack that comes their target enemy is going way, without the need to attack them"target" a specific source. Dodge works against both melee and ranged attacks. When Dodging, then Evasion a character may attempt Dodge checks are against every creature targeting them. A Dodge check is resolved during the enemy's turn, and goes as follows:

* Before resolving damage, the evading dodging character makes a certain amount of '''Evade Dodge checks''', as many as their ; the quantity depends on skill level allows. An evade A Dodge check is '''2d6+[[Agility|Agi]]'''. Critical success occurs on a '''12''', success Successes occur between '''7 and 1112''', and failure between '''2 and 6'''.** A critical Every success can be spent to transform turns every standard and inaccurate hit into a '''anymiss''' of the enemy's hits (even a and every critical hit), into a miss.** A success can be spent to lower an enemy's hit by one tier; it will transform a critical hit into a regular hit, a hit into an ''inaccurate hit, and an inaccurate hit into a miss. Multiple successes can be stacked together onto the same enemy attack to reduce it by multiple tiers; e.g. spending 2 successful evade checks onto a hit to reduce it into a miss'''.

* After resolving evade Dodge checks and cancelled hits, the total amount of hits and misses is adjusted, and the rest of the turn can be resolved normally.* Bonus: If at least one success occurred, the dodging character is allowed to make a [[Combat mode#Non-combat action|non-combat movement]] to another Side of the Battlespace before the turn ends, for free.

Example: Anna has Basic level in Evading and an [[Agility]] of '''+1'''. She is on Side 1, and about to enter a fight with a marauder armed with an [[MP5K]]located in Side 2. However, but she has no suitable weapons to deal with him, and unluckily, she cannot take [[cover]] as there is none on her Side. He is about to open fire on himher, so she prepares to Evade Dodge his incoming fire.* Turn order is as follows: Anna (EvadeDodge, [[IS]] 0), Marauder (Attack Anna with MP5K, [[IS]] 5)* Anna prepares to Evade and targets the Marauder. Being the only enemy in the room, the guess is automatically correct, so she will get to make Evade checksDodge.

* Anna now gets to roll her '''Evade Dodge checks'''. At her skill level, she is allowed to roll three, and since she has [[Agility|Agi]] +1, she gets to roll '''2d6+1''' three times. She gets '''74, 7, 10'''. That is three two successes! She spends one of them to reduce They cancel the inaccurate hit into a miss, and the remaining two are spent on the hit, reducing it transforming the Marauder's attack string into another misssix misses.* Thanks to her quick reflexes (and a little bit of luck), Anna was able to dodge an entire string of fire and avoid being struck by two bullets. The turn now ends. and Anna is unscathed for now, but the Marauder still has 24 rounds to go... She needs chooses to gauge use her optionsbonus non-combat movement in order to jump into the Marauder's Side, on Side 2.

== Parry Counter ==

A '''Counter''' (WIPor '''counter-attack''')is a move that can be performed if certain conditions are met.

== To be eligible to perform a Counter ==, your character must meet these requirements:* At least 1 success during a Dodge check* Did not use the bonus non-combat movement* Have a weapon or be able to perform some kind of attack; and if melee, you must already be on the same Side as your opponent If you meet these requirements, you must signal your intention to perform a Counter. A Counter can be performed with any weapon or any attack that is not considered an [[abilities|ability or technique]], excluding natural attacks; however, on top of any limits placed by ammunition or maximum attacks per turn, there is a limit on the amount of hits allowed during a Counter, which depends on your Evading skill level. Whichever is the smallest maximum attacks per turn is the one that applies for your character.

Example: Anna is now on the second turn of her fight against the marauder, and the two are now on the same side. The marauder makes another attempt at firing a burst at Anna, and Anna once again prepares to Dodge. He fires seven rounds, rolls 2 inaccurate hits; Anna rolls 3 successes, and spends 2 to turn them into misses. She successfully Dodged, and is now eligible for a Counter. * Anna has nothing but her fists and feet - this is the reason why she dodged and rolled into her enemy's Side in the previous turn.* Anna has Basic level in Evading, restricting her max attacks per turn to 1 during a Counter. She opts to try and [[kick]] her opponent in the groin, attacking a [[Limb groups|WEAK POINT]]. Despite the fact it imparts a [[FT]] +2 penalty, there aren't many other options available, and she hopes to deal a lot of damage this way.* Anna makes her attack roll and is fortunate enough to roll a '''12''': critical hit! She has 110% Strength, and rolling '''[[Tsuchinoko (WIPbot)|&crithit]]''' gives an additional 1.5x damage effect - in total, Anna managed to inflict heavy damage to the Marauder; a total of '''76% [[Pain]]''' and '''13 [[Limb damage|damage]] to the hips'''! The marauder is screaming in agony and will probably need medical attention... he is still alive, however, and Anna intends to see the fight through to the end.

* 1 Skill Point for every turn in which an Evade was performed with at least one success.* 1 Skill Point for every turn in which a Parry Dodge was performed with at least one success.
