Dodging and EV

[Sprucery]

Am I correct in that the only effect of Dodging skill is increasing EV? So after gaining a point of EV, training more Dodging does nothing until you get another point of EV.

I have created a thread for minor questions for this kind of questions, btw. And yes, you don't get anything besides EV. And training it past the desired EV doesn't give you anything besides more EV.

I must add a minor effect, the first skill to reach level 27 will determine your character's final title.
Having Dodging 27 before all skills will allow you to become Sprucery the Intangible !!

Training more dodging increases the EV gain of getting more dexterity even before you get another point of EV with your current dexterity score.

although you'd only notice this if you went up from like 10->12 dex with a very high amount of dodging

Well, you didn't ask about this, but since Bloax mentioned this

  Code:

first, halve the part of your dex over 24, and then halve the part over 34. Then your base EV is 10 + size_factor + (7 + dodging * new_dex) / (20 - size_factor). Then subtract your aevp and asp, then halve the part over 30, and then halve the part over 50. Then apply randarts, rings, and merfolk/tengu bonuses. Go stepdowns!
Your dodging bonus is reduced by 30*(EVP - 1)/strength, where EVP is the base penalty of your body armour (does not depend on Armour skill).

Or simply click on different tabs looking like "dex15",etc at the bottom of this spreadsheet.

It's pretty easy to see the effect by playing a tengu. A 19 EV tengu, when flying, will have either 22 or 23 EV, depending on your precise Dex and Dodging skill.
