	~~<!-- PAGE: Dodge -->~~		'''Dodge''' is a [[List of Actions\|Normal Action]].
	'''Dodge''' is a [[~~Normal~~ Actions\|Normal Action]] ~~(and Reaction) in ''Eldfall Chronicles''~~.

	~~Dodge allows~~ a model to ~~evade an incoming Attack by ignoring its non-Critical Hits and all related effects. The post-~~Dodge ~~movement at the end of the Resolution Step is optional~~.		To avoid a potential or an incoming attack, a model may attempt to perform a Dodge.

	~~== How Dodge Works ==~~		In order to avoid suffering damage successfully, the model must perform a successful Agility roll, using 1 die.

	~~=== Declaration ===~~		If the Dodge roll is successful, ignore non-critical Hits from the enemy's Attack.
	Dodge is ~~declared during the Reaction Step (as a Reaction) or during~~ the ~~Action Step (as an Active Role action)~~.

	; Reactive ~~Dodge : Declared when an enemy~~ model ~~targets this~~ model ~~with an Attack. The model performs an AG roll against the attacker's roll. If successful~~, ~~all non-Critical Hits from that Attack are ignored.~~		In order to declare Dodge in the Reactive Role, a model must either have Line of Sight towards the activated model, or the currently activated enemy model must be within its Awareness, or both.
	~~; Active Role Dodge : Declared as an action in~~ the model~~'s own activation — e.g. in anticipation of incoming fire. The movement at end of resolution is optional even here~~.

	~~=== Resolution ===~~		If a model declares Dodge and did not have LoS at any point during the Active Model's Movement Step, the Dodge must be performed with a halved Agility attribute.
	~~# The~~ Dodge ~~model performs an '''AG roll'''.~~
	~~# Compare against~~ the ~~attacker~~'s ~~Attack roll result.~~
	~~# If the Dodge '''succeeds''': all non-Critical Hits from the Attack are ignored, including all related effects (e.g. [[Stagger]], [[Burn (X)\|Burn]]~~, ~~[[Knockdown]]).~~
	~~# If~~ the Dodge ~~'''fails''': the Attack resolves normally.~~
	~~# At the end of the Resolution Step, the model '''may optionally''' move up to its full SPD. This movement is not compulsory. (Rulebook 1.6, p~~.57)

	~~=== Key Rules ===~~		When a model declares Dodge, it can do these things at the end of the Resolution Step, even if the roll was unsuccessful:
	* Dodge ~~is '''not a [[Confrontation]]''' —~~ it ~~does not cancel~~ the ~~Attack for other targets (e.g. models hit by [[Sweep I/II\|Sweep]]).~~		* move for a distance of its halved Speed value in any direction (rounded up),
	* Dodge only protects the ~~'''Dodging model''' — other models under~~ the ~~same AoE or Sweep are still affected.~~		* enter or cancel the Crouched State.
	* A '''Critical Hit''' cannot be negated by Dodge — only non-Critical Hits are ignored.
	* ~~Dodge can be declared in the Active Role as a proactive defensive measure; the optional movement can be used purely~~ for ~~repositioning.~~
	* If a ~~model declares Dodge against a [[Shrouded]] enemy that then reveals itself~~, ~~the model may switch its declared Reaction.~~
	* ~~[[Ward]] functions similarly to Dodge (magical Dodge) — see [[Ward]] for full comparison~~.

	~~=== Modifiers ===~~		''Note: A successful Dodge roll may also cancel all States that require a successful Dodge for their cancellation.''
	~~When Dodging without LoS to the attacker,~~ a ~~model~~'~~s AG is halved — unless the model has [[Acute Senses I]].~~

	~~== Interactions ==~~		''A model can fall off the edge of a surface while dodging. In this case, any possible Fall Damage has to be applied.''

	~~=== [[Sweep I/II]] ===~~		''Declaration of Dodge requires no target, or rather, the target is the model itself.''
	Dodge ~~is per-model. If a model successfully Dodges a Sweep attack~~, ~~only that model ignores~~ the ~~Hit — other models within Sweep range are still affected if~~ the ~~Attack roll succeeds~~.

	==~~= [[Ward]] =~~==		== Disengage ==
	~~Ward works as a magical Dodge: it negates non-Critical Hits~~ and ~~all related effects (including [[Burn~~ (X)~~\|Burn]]). Like~~ Dodge, ~~Ward is not a Confrontation and does not cancel~~ the ~~Attack for other targets~~.		During the Active and/or Reactive turn, when an Engaged (State) model declares a Dodge, it may move out of the enemy model's melee Reach, canceling the Engaged State (even if the roll was unsuccessful).

	==~~= [[Protective Barrier]] =~~==		== Dodge Against Multiple Enemy Attacks ==
	~~Protective Barrier negates one specific Hit against the enchanted model — akin to Dodging that one Hit. If a Ricochet chain reaches a~~ model ~~with Protective Barrier~~, ~~that Hit is negated and~~ the ~~chain stops at that model (no further Ricochet from the negated Hit)~~.		A model declaring Dodge, upon becoming the Attack target of multiple enemy models, must perform an Agility roll against each enemy Attack separately, in order to prevent receiving Hits.

	~~=== [[Charm I/II]] ===~~		''Example: Models B and C react against the activated Model A by declaring an Attack. Model A declares a Dodge as its Action (its Agility being 13). Models B and C will perform an Attack Roll, each using 1 die (while reacting, their Strike value is 1). Meanwhile, Model A will perform 2 Agility rolls, 1 against Model B and 1 against Model C separately. Against Model B, Model A rolls 8, and against Model C, the model rolls 14, therefore it dodges the Attack of Model B, but suffers the Attack of Model C. Model C must now proceed making a Damage Roll with hopes that it deals a Wound to Model A. As Model A declared Dodge, it may move up to its halved Speed value.''
	~~Charm triggers when~~ an ~~enemy model~~ declares a ~~'''reactive~~ Attack~~'''~~ against the ~~Charm~~ model. ~~Dodge is not~~ a ~~reactive Attack — Charm does not trigger against~~ Dodge.

	~~=== [[Engaged]] ===~~
	~~An Engaged model can still declare Dodge as a Reaction.~~

	~~=== [[Crouched]] ===~~
	~~A Crouched model can still declare Dodge. Dodge while Crouched follows normal resolution rules.~~

	~~=== [[Flying]] ===~~
	A Flying model can Dodge melee Attacks targeting it — but recall that a Flying model cannot normally be targeted by Melee Attacks unless it itself declared a Melee Attack (in which case it can be reacted to with a counter-Attack or Dodge).
