Title: [Mongoose Traveller] Dodge
Post by: Aglondir on September 18, 2017, 09:38:14 PM
Quote from: Mongoose Traveller, 1EA character who is being attacked may dodge, giving his attacker a -1 DM and giving himself a -1 DM on all skill checks until the next round. If the character is in cover or has an obstruction to duck or dodge behind, the DM to hit him is increased to -2.

I think they changed it in 2E, to -1 DM per Dodge skill rank? Is the rest still the same?

2nd Edition made this popular Referee house rule an official one:

A Traveller who is dodging will inflict a penalty equal to his
DEX DM or Athletics (dexterity), whichever is higher, to his
attacker's attack roll.

Thanks Shawn, that clears it up. I like the rule.

That's a good rule.
