Talk:Dodge

From NWNWiki

Situation: Player A is fighting enemies B and C. A is targeting B. A and B exchange a single blow to each other. C then attacks A, becoming his last attacker, whilst A is still targeting B. Does A recieve his Dodge bonus against B or C?

Trying to find out, because Dodge's usefulness would probably become a lot less useful against more opponents at higher levels. --82.9.227.110 25 April 2009

  • C would flank A and thus A would not get a dodge bonus versus C.
The one exception is AoO (or circle kick but rarely ever demonstrable with cleave/great cleave) when C enters, so that A makes a blow at C. This circumstance was fixed in a patch as follows:
  1. How it used to be: A would receive dodge bonus versus both B and C, and neither B nor C would be flanking throughout the combat
  2. How it works (as of patch 1.6?): For a brief amount of time A gets a dodge bonus versus C (but not against B and can be flanked by B) after which he resumes fighting B (where C can now flank A without the dodge bonus of A being applied against C).
