Perception = Wits + Composure

Perception = Wits + Composure (or a relevant skill in place of Composure) So as far as the debate goes, both Adam and I were right. It does come from an attribute, but can be replaced if a skill applies. Dodge = Lowest of char's Wits or Dex is used to determine his defense, which is subtracted from incoming Brawl, Weaponry/thrown. You can declare a dodge at any time in the turn, even before you place in the roster- assuming you have not acted yet. As with defense, if multiple attacks are directed against your character, your Dodge total is reduced by one for each attack after the first. So! You choose to dodge, or you choose to fight. You can abandon at any point assuming you've not already acted. If you've been attacked several times and decide to abort to a dodge, you simply subtract your increased defense by one for every time you've been attacked. I.E.-My defense is 4. I am attacked twice and decide to dodge. Normally, my defense would be increased to 8, but since I've already been attacked twice, I subtract two from my total. I'm at a 6 for the remainder, or until I am attacked again. I like it.
