Lead the forces of light to victory!
Henzell says...
  1. Dodging skill increases your evasion. You get 1 EV per 25 dex*dodging (little 20, small 22.5, large 27.5), subject to a proportional penalty based on body armour encumberance and strength (see [2]), and scaled by merfolk bonus. Prior to 0.27, dex over 24 and again EV over 30 were subject to stepdown.
  2. When your body armour has nonzero encumbrance, dodging skill gets you a fraction of ev it would get with zero encumbrance body armour. When your str is lower than ER-3, the fraction is str/(2*(ER-3)). Otherwise the fraction is 1-((ER-3)/(2*str)). For example, in ring mail (ER=7) the fraction is 25% when str is 2 and 75% when str is 8.
