Athletics Dodge

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Whenever your character performs a dodge^[1] you can add his Athletics Skill dots to his Defense instead of doubling his Defense. He essentially draws on his knowledge of how his body moves to parry and evade attacks rather than rely on his raw ability alone. Athletics Dodge applies against incoming Brawl-and Weaponry-based attacks, against thrown-weapon attacks, and against firearms attacks made within close-combat range. Your character can move up to his Speed and perform an Athletics Dodge maneuver in a turn.

A character can possess the Brawling Dodge, Athletics Dodge and Weaponry Dodge Merits, but only one can be used per turn.
