It was my understanding that block doesn't work and dodge foods don't add to fencer/pistol dodge they add to a diffrent deffence mod that the devs for some odd reason also called dodge. It's not a listed skill and as far as I know this food(s) is the only mod for it.
There is no counterattack foods though. ( unless I'm blind 
)

Yes. My understanding of it this: Essentially this game is still played like a D&D game under the hood with virtual dice rolls. So when someone tries to hit you a roll is made to determine whether the hit lands or not. Any defence mods you have come after this roll so if the blow hits another roll will be made based on your defence mods to determine if you dodge/counterattacked etc. The dodge foods affect the FIRST roll. So anyone can benefit even if you have no dodge "skills". I agree, it was a confusing choice of words on the dev's part

I should also mention you won't see any text showing you dodging the attack since it's not a dodge skill. You'll just see them missing more often.

Right, Player block and counterattack are bugged right now.
NPC Block and Dodge works, but counterattack doesn't.
The food dodge buff doesn't stack with pistoleer/fencer dodge mod. Its an inherent dodge that helps you evade attacks so you'll see more of "soandso shoots at you and misses" messages, instead of the "soandso shoots you for 123 points of damage but you dodge" message.

first off sorry if this is the wrong section for this thread.. if a mod thinks it should go somewhere else please move it.
okay.. now i'll be the first to say that i'm not the brightest crayon in the box.. but every once in a while the lightbulb does click on up there in that empty cavern i call my head.
Fencers/pistoleers get dodge buff foods.. Riflemen/Pikemen get block buff foods. How come Swordsmen/carbineers don't get a food or drink that buffs their Counterattack defense? I mean i know i can eat some dodge or block food and be able to use dodge and block for the duration of the food buff.. but i'd really like to be able to buff up my currently used defense counterattack.. are there plans or talks about adding this to the game?

I have no foods which give a direct bonus to dogde or block, just 50% of attacks dogded, not the skill it self..
I wouldn't know either! But I want + to intimidate food.
