5.5.3 General Skill - Evasion

As you train in Evasion, you will learn the art of controlling your prana-musculature in order to reduce the damage taken by physical attacks (such as a sword or a kick) by partially dodging them and thus taking the wound in a less damaging place.

The amount of damage decrease is dependent on your Dexterity stat and the number of lessons that have been spent on the skill. Being prone or otherwise hindered reduces the damage resistance of Evasion by half.
