Defense Strength
Also called "Defense Roll" in some places.
The target's block, effective dodge, and cover are added together to give Defense Strength.
Block
Block is straightforward. Just add Block to Defense Strength.
Dodge
The defender's Dodge is modified by the attacker's weapon Wield. Heavy weapons (low wield) are easier to dodge; light weapons (high wield) are harder.
Multiply by the following to get effective Dodge:
Wield | Weight | Modifier |
---|---|---|
1 | Ultraheavy | 135% |
2 | Heavy | 115% |
3 | Balanced | 100% |
4 | Light | 85% |
5 | Ultralight | 65% |
