Dodge (DV)
DV, Dodge Value, or 
is a stat that indicates how likely this creature is to dodge an attack.
DV Calculation Formula
All creatures have a base combat DV of 6. The formula of calculating total dv is as follows:
Or:
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.
In ranged combat, a -5 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
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
If Attacking Accuracy > Dodge Chance, the attack will land.
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.
