Dodge bonus

The dodge bonus (DB%) is a defensive bonus. It is similar to your parry bonus (PB%). There are some notable differences though.

While your parry bonus is divided by the number of opponents you are facing in combat, your dodge bonus is not. You will dodge just as well against 3 enemies as you do against one. While you will only block hits (parry) from enemies 33% as well when facing 3 enemies.

Your dodge bonus will be lowered if you carry too much weight. The heavier your equipment, the harder it is for you to dodge.

You can boost your dodge bonus with certain items. There are cloaks, belts, and rings that boost your dodge bonus significantly. There are also some lighter clothes that provide extra dodge bonuses.

You can improve your dodge bonus rather significantly by learning the "Dodge" skill. It is considered a Thief skill.

Mages can also utilize the "shield" spell to boost their dodge bonus.
