Glancing Hits

Dodge has very much been a live or die situation; and requires a secondary defense to even be viable. To help alleviate this issue, Glancing Hits have been added. When you fail to Dodge an attack, the attacker's attack roll will be unluckily rolled against your Dodge Chance. If your Dodge Chance now beats the new attacker unlucky roll, damage received will be halved as a glancing hit. This will apply before Damage Reduction.
