Dodge

Dodge represents your reaction speed, and how well you avoid debilitating or damaging effects aimed in your direction.

DODGE (Reaction)

If you have no hands free, you continue to fall as if you had failed the check.Critical Failure You continue to fall, and you take 1d6 bludgeoning damage from the strain of trying to catch and failing.
