Quickness Path

The Quickness Path Skill allows the character to increase their ability to dodge normal attacks—this excludes Feats and guns. Characters in mundane armor are unable to utilize any dodges or Feats provided by the Quickness Path. If a character expends all of their called Dodges they must rest for ten minutes at which point all called dodges are available once more. Dodges are considered Limited Avoidance Countermeasures, in that they only work on base calls. This bonus is an additional +1 Dodge at each purchase; the Quickness Path Skill may be purchased multiple times. The Dexterity stat provides the bonus of an additional dodge for each point in Dexterity. For every purchase of this skill, the player may select a Feat from the
