[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6204771, member: 2525"] You felt the need to repeat it three times? OK, I got it, it was called Evasion and not Uncanny Dodge. Fine. So, you evaded a fireball with nothing to evade behind, and nobody else except the character with the Evasion special ability could do that. Even if they had a much higher dexterity bonus than the guy with the special Evasion ability. Even if you were stuck in a pit with nothing at all to provide any vague cover to evade with, and the wizard fires a fireball on your head from above. Everyone was hit for half damage or full damage, except the guy with the special ability Evasion who could reduce it to zero because "Evasion". Why is that more believable to you than this mechanic, where everyone either hits or misses with a melee attack, but the one guy with the special ability can do half damage on a miss? [/QUOTE]
