Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition

Dodge or Fight Back

Dodge, fight back, or dive for cover: compare the choices and who wins ties.

START WITH THE SITUATION

How are you responding?

Dodge

Ties favor the defender.

  1. Compare success levels already shown by the VTT. The attacker must achieve a better level than your Dodge.

  2. A successful tie avoids the hit. Dodging never deals damage.

  3. If both fail, neither lands a successful action.
