Description

Redirect your enemies' attacks to each other as you weave between them.

Mechanics

Upon evading a melee attack, there is a chance that the attack can be redirected against another enemy in the same room. The chance for redirection is ((8 * (1 + Ranks)) + (8 * Dodge Ranks per level) + (1 / 10) MoC ranks to 100 ranks + (1 / 20) MoC ranks over 100 + ((Agi Bonus + (2 * Inf Bonus)) / 5)). Each stance higher than offensive reduces the redirection chance by 20%, and is removed entirely in defensive stance.
