Resolving a Fighting Attack Made Against a Target That is Dodging

(Back to Combat)

(see also Resolving a Fighting Attack Made Against a Target That is Fighting Back)

The attacker and the target (who is trying to dodge) make an opposed skill roll using their Fighting skill and Dodge skill respectively. If the attacker gains a higher level of success, the attack is successful and the attacker inflicts damage on the loser (see Determining Damage). Otherwise the attack is dodged and no damage is dealt. If both sides achieve the same level of success, the character dodging wins and evades the attack.


 * If the attacker achieves a higher level of success, they deal damage.
 * If the defender achieves a higher level of success, they have dodged the attack and take no damage.
 * In the case of a draw, the defender wins (when the defender is dodging).
 * If both fail, no damage is inflicted.
