'''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.

A character may attempt performing to perform a '''Dodge''' (or '''Dodging''') as a non-combat action for the turn. Dodge implies the use of evasive manuvers maneuvers to avoid being hit by incoming attacks, or parrying manuvers maneuvers to stop them from dealing any damage. In practice, the game considers that there is no difference between dodging and parrying.

A character attempting to Dodge must "target" an enemy creature, in order will attempt to try and dodge any incoming attacks coming from attack that enemy for comes their way, without the turnneed to "target" a specific source. Dodge works against both melee and ranged attacks.

If When Dodging, a character attempting may attempt Dodge has correctly guessed that their target enemy is going to attack checks against every creature targeting them, then . A Dodge checks are check is resolved during the enemy's turn, and goes as follows:

* Before resolving damage, the dodging character makes a certain amount of '''Dodge checks'''; the quantity depends on skill level. 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 Dodge checks onto a hit to reduce it into a miss'''.

Example: Anna has Basic level in Evading and an [[Agility]] of '''+1'''. She is in on Side 1, and about to enter a fight with a marauder armed with an [[MP5K]] located in Side 2. However, 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 Dodge his incoming fire.

* Anna prepares to Dodge and targets the Marauder. Being the only enemy in the room, the guess is automatically correct, so she will get to make Dodge checks.

* Anna now gets to roll her '''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.

To be eligible to perform a Counter, your character mustmeet these requirements:* Have successfully performed At least 1 success during a Dodge, without using check* Did not use the bonus non-combat movement

* 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 nutsgroin, 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 (bot)|&crithit]]''' gives an additional 1.5x damage effect - her kick's power was multiplied, in total, by 3.3 (x1.1 from Strength, x2 from aiming at a weak point, x1.5 as a critical hit bonus). The Anna managed to inflict heavy damage to the Marauder, who wears [[List of human clothing and armor|cargo pants]], receives ; a total of '''76% [[Pain]]''' (23 x 1.1 x 1.5 x 2, rounded). The limb damage check for a kick is 1d8-1; the GM rolls 4, multiplies by 3.3 then rounds to nearest, obtaining a total of 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.
