Fun guide!

I do have to say you did make a small mistake in your guide; you mention dodge is for avoidance, defence is for AC. This is not true; dodge determines your chance to perform a dodge. Defence determines both your avoidance and mitigation. It is a very important skill.

Well I guess I think of dodge as avoidance in a general sense if not technically accurate. Not getting hit = avoiding getting hit. It might be a bit too technical a distinction for the guide. Let me figure out how to phrase it.

EDIT:
OK edited for accuracy. The section now reads, "A successful Dodge keeps you from getting hit at all. AC is avoidance and mitigation, when you do get hit you get hit for less."

May I suggest:

"A successful Dodge keeps you from getting hit at all. AC is avoidance and mitigation, you get hit less often and when you do get hit you get hit for less."

Yeah, but too many "hits" in there. Changed to, "you get hit less often and when you do get hit you take less damage." Effectively the same, but sounds a bit better.

Thanks Jimjam!
