The Dodge skill is the primary skill of the Evade portion of the Evade/Block/Parry system which helps determine a character's overall Defensive Strength against melee, ranged and bolt AS attacks. Because of the training point costs and skill ranks available per level, dodge is often a staple of the more physical professions while magic users will often forego it entirely. The decision for how much dodge training a character will have is usually a function of a character's particular training path.

Note: The DS formula that uses dodge as a primary skill can be found on the Evade page along with other information regarding dodging (evading) attacks.
