Sorry for the newb question.
Currently working on Rifleman / Fencer.
WIll the + Dodge , and Melee Damage Mitigation skills i learn while fencing still work while i'm using a rifle and my rifleman skills?
I realize that obvious skills , like Center of Being , and 1 handed weapon speed won't cross over , but what about the "generic " skills that multiple classes get? Dodge , Defense Vs. Dizzy , etc etc......
Loving the fencer class though , definate change of pace from "go prone" , "shoot" "shoot" RUN RUN RUN RUN

I dont think so but if you go pistol it will!
why? because pistols are one handed? and rifles are 2?

I am a Master Fencer / Master Rifleman / Pistoleer 1-0-4-0 / Medic 0-0-4-0
To answer your questions:
No, the dodge bonuses you get from fencer will not work while holding a rifle....vice versa...the block bonuses you get from rifleman will not work while holding a baton or sword.
Yes, Melee Damage Mitigation 3 and Ranged Damage Mitigation 3 will work whenusing both classes.
Yes, Defense vs xxx will work whenusing both classes as well.
Hope this answers your question.

If you want your block rate to go up (that is what rifle is) then pick up some polearm.
rifle/polearm = block, pistol/fencer = dodge and carbine/2h is counter attack. For a while people where ca with the rifle out, but not sure if the fixxed that.
