Page 8 is correct in terms of whether you can react to an attack positively well (+) or negatively worse (-).
When does it apply?
-Hyp.

The answer, Hypersmurf, is I don't think so![]()
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Hypersmurf. What situation nver occurs? There are circumstances where the PC cannot react (see above). It just comes back to the reference to Dexterity modifier being overly abbreviated (it is, after all, essentially a quick overview of what the Attribute does). It ought to mention flat-footedness and helplessness and how these are handled differently. But I think they are deliberately left until their appropriate sections, so as to avoid overwhelming the reader who is simply aiming to get an idea of what Attributes to buy or assign.Hypersmurf said:
Which is why the page 8 reference is confusing - it refers to a condition that never occurs.
