Evasion¶

Your Evasion represents your character's ability to avoid attacks and other unwanted effects from adversaries. This value sets the Difficulty for any roll a creature makes against you. Your base Evasion is determined by your class, but it can be modified by domain cards, equipment, conditions, and more.

You get to describe what your character's Evasion represents, flavouring it the same way you describe their actions. Take this opportunity to be creative, lean into the descriptions, and deepen your character. When an adversary misses them with an attack or other effect, they might deftly avoid it with acrobatic dodging or precise footwork or dissipate the attack with well-timed parries. They might even have a magical shield or enchanted object that wards off blows.

Although these descriptions add to your character and the story your group is telling together, they don't change the normal Evasion rules or give you special bonuses. For example, you might describe how your character uses a powerful burst of magic to redirect an arrow heading their way, but this doesn't mean you can redirect the arrow back at the attacker and deal the damage to them instead.
