In the words of one wise warrior, 'the best way to block a blow is to not be where it lands'. The dodge skill honors this tradition, by improving the character's natural agility to the point where many blows will miss the target. The chance of dodging is also affected by the dexterity of the attacker and the target. Fighters, assassins, thieves and rangers may learn dodging. It's a last resort skill, checked after parry and shield block.
