The Avoid Blow talent allows a character to dodge blows directed at him in combat at the last minute. Any time an opponent attacks a character with the avoid blow talent, the attacked individual makes an avoid blow test to dodge the blow before it causes damage. If he rolls a result equal to or higher than the opponents attack test, the target avoids the blow. This means that the character saw the blow coming and dodged out of the way at the last minute. A character cannot use the avoid blow talent to dodge blind sided attacks, however. Avoid Blow can only be used once per combat round. A character who attempts and fails to use Avoid Blow is knocked down.
