It's just that much harder if the target dodges, imposing disadvantage on the attacker. It's obviously going to be easier to hit a target with a dex of 2, even with disadvantage, than a target with a dex of 20.(Edit) I see this has already been beaten to death. I agree that dodge is often underutilized by players. My players learned to use it after they saw the bad guys use it several times. They learned to close the melee distance using dodge and how to shoot and then get behind cover as well. Combat in 5th edition can be much more dynamic than people often realize at first.</blockquote>
