Evade is used to escape from observed, impending danger and can be used against Ranged Weapons (by diving for cover, for example), avoiding traps, changing the engagement distance in combat, and generally getting out of the way of a potential physical hazard. It can also be used as a resistance roll for certain types of magic. Those with the Artful Dodger Ability may use Evade to dodge a melee attack without falling prone. Against a ranged attack, they only end up prone if they Fail the roll.
