[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5637092, member: 35909"] Simple question. Does Evasion help against stuff that has a save entry of "Reflex Partial"? I want the answer to be yes, or at least occasionaly yes. I really want it to be yes. Mettle kinda came along after Evasion was written and had the unfortunate distinction of being completely and utterly better. Not only because it works on twice the saves and the two "most important" saves at that (fort and will), but also because it works against Half and Partial. All this time I thought Evasion just got shafted, but I saw a thread recently where a poster pointed out something interesting in the text of Evasion: "If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage." Which would/could mean that a spell that was Reflex partial because a save halved the damage AND averted a condition would be rendered completely null by Evasion. Do you agree? As long as the Reflex save halves the damage, Evasion applies, even if the entry isn't actually "Reflex Half"? [/QUOTE]
