Dodge does not work at all when useing a 2 handed weapon.

I decided to test this out before added a counterattack tape to my bioshirt... and here is the gist of the test.

105 dodge Skill fromMaster Fencerwielding a 2handed curved sword with only 2handed 4.

Against

PC Novice Heavy Swordsman

Got hit a few more times than normal had I been wielding my gad...

But out of over 100 attempts by him to hit, I didn't dodge once.

In an average fight verses a mob who would have a higher accuracy than this Novice Heavy Swordsman I dodge at least 3 out of 10 attacks against me. With 1 out of10 hitting and the rest misses.

Here was 100 misses agaisnt me and not a single dodge...

Now possible explination would be that my Melee defence was so much higher than his accuracythat the hit resolution never got to the dodge check...and when it did go thru the 10 times or so he hit me it just didn't happen to trigger a dodge for some random reason.

Anyone have any metrics from other bouts?

Nope, you are entirely correct. You must be wielding a Pistol or One-handed weapon to get your dodge bonuses. You still have an itty-bitty amount of base dodge chance (the amont you began the game with) without these weapons... but not enough to even notice in 100 hits unless you're very lucky.

hmmm... are you guys sure?

i thought a dodge was a 'hit' but you get out of the way.
