ReplyI have a dark elf rogue who's tripled dodging and stalk/hide. Almost doubled edged, TWC, ambush and PF. Singled CM and Perception. Agility + Dex bonuses add up to 54. Doesn't pick, ambushes things in the eye from hiding. What I'm wondering is how bad would I get hurt dropping Dodging down to 2.5x or even 2x? and do I need to be singled in Perception? If I lose that dodging I can get all my things that should be doubled up to their proper ranks as now they're all lagging a few due to lack of TP's.

Every rank of dodge is giving you .75 DS in offensive - a % that is 1/2 the penalty of whatever you are wearing for armor rounded up. For example if you were in metal breastplate, you'd have an armor penalty of 20 and you'd see a 10% loss to your dodge DS. A couple of things could help lessen that penalty, having your armor adjusted with armor evasion and over training in armor. So, obviously the higher level you are the more DS you'd lose from lowering your dodge to 2.5x or 2x. However if you are always hunting with spells even at 2x dodge you shouldn't really be hurting for DS.
