📋 About This Mod
Add the Dodge Action from Dnd 5e as a default class action
Also on the in game mod manager
When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage. You lose this benefit if you are incapacitated or if your speed drops to 0.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn't edit the common spellset
