Roll with the Punches

Cost: 8
Ability Type: Defensive Enhancement
Related Skill: Melee Combat
Prerequisites: Martial Dodge and Martial Parry

Your Martial Arts Training has taught you never to simply stand in place and take a blow, but instead to always move with the attack – reducing its impact by falling back away from it. When defending against a melee attack using a Martial Parry or Martial Dodge, you can fall back on Roll with the Punches if your defence fails – so long as it fails by 2 or less. Roll with the Punches applies a -1 DC modifier to the incoming attack. Roll with the Punches only affects Physical Damage.
