'''DV''' or '''Dodge Value''' or {{DV}} is a stat that indicates how likely this creature is to dodge an attack.

'''DV''', '''Dodge Value''', or {{DV}} is a stat that indicates how likely this creature is to dodge an attack.

==DV Calculation Formula==

All creatures have a base DV of 6. The formula of calculating total dv is as follows:

All creatures have a base combat DV of 6. The formula of calculating total dv is as follows:

<math>\text{Total DV} = 6 + \text{DV granted by Equipment/Mutation/Cybernetics} + \text{Floor}(\frac{\text{AGI-}16}{2})</math>

Line 12:

<math>\text{Total DV} = 6 + \text{DV granted by Equipment/Mutation/Cybernetics} + \text{AGI Modifier}</math>

If multiple ~~slots~~ of the same type exist (eg, [[Arm]]), the DV values of those slots will be averaged and rounded, with half-values rounding toward zero.

If multiple body parts of the same type exist (eg, [[Arm]]), the DV values of those slots will be averaged and rounded, with half-values rounding toward zero.

If the creature is immobile or overburdened, the DV is set to a flat -10.

In ranged combat, a -5 [[Missile_weapon_combat#Projectile_Hit_and_Damage|penalty is applied to the result]], unless the target has [[Swift Reflexes]] skill.

If the creature is immobile or overburdened, the DV is set to a flat -10 (melee combat) or -100 (missile combat).

=== Internal DV ===

~~Although this is how~~ DV is ~~calculated on~~ the ~~player facing side~~, ~~all game calculations~~ use a ~~different DV that does not include the bonus~~ 6 DV. The -10 DV when immobile in ~~anyway~~ does not have this bonus 6 DV~~, so~~ it ~~does not change~~. The wiki as a whole represents creature DV ~~as how it would look~~ in ~~game, so it is 6 higher than what the game would actually use~~.

DV is stored internally without the +6 bonus DV, but when it comes time to actually use DV for a combat calculation, a flat 6 is added to it. The -10 DV when immobile in any way does not have this bonus 6 DV factored into it. The wiki as a whole represents creature DV with this 6 bonus DV factored in already.

==Dodge Formula==

<math>\text{Attacking ~~accuracy~~} = 1d20 + \text{Attacker's AGI Modifier} + \text{Attacker's To Hit Bonus}</math>

<math>\text{Attacking Accuracy} = 1d20 + \text{Attacker's AGI Modifier} + \text{Attacker's To Hit Bonus}</math>

<math>\text{Dodge ~~chance~~} = \text{Defender's DV}</math>

<math>\text{Dodge Chance} = \text{Defender's DV}</math>

If Attacking ~~accuracy~~ > Dodge Chance, the attack will land.

If Attacking Accuracy > Dodge Chance, the attack will land.

If ~~attacking 1d20~~ rolls a 20, it becomes a [[critical hit]] and cannot be dodged.

If an attack with a melee weapon rolls a 20 on the 1d20 before modifiers, it becomes a [[critical hit]] and cannot be dodged. The same is not true for missile attacks, which don't always hit when critical.
