Help : Evade

If you are new here, you may want to download one of many MUD clients, and see our getting started guide.

(such as "spell" or "MUD Basics") 

    While in combat, a rogue can go on the defensive and focus their
energy into evading attacks.  Chance to hit and damage a foe are greatly
reduced while evading, but the rogue's natural armor is increased.
Evading can be done without wielding a weapon.

    Rogues with a high enough talent for evading may even be quick enough
to dodge magic and breath attacks.

   If the foe rolls a critical strike, you will unable to evade.

   Effect:
      Attack: -10%
      Armor: +10%
      Damage: -25%

   On a successful evade, roll your class expertise + stat pairing. 
   The sum divided by 2 is the amount of damage you reduce.

   Additionally, vs spells, if you succeed a standard skill check, you 
   gain an additional reflex save. If you succeed both saving throws then
   one of two things will happen based on a roll. If your stat pairing
   + class expertise is over the value of the roll, then you
   will fully dodge the spell. Else, you will simply reduce the spell down
   to 25% damage, 1/2 per save.
