12. How do you choose between? I think dodging and blocking deal with how to mitigate damage. Dodging is when you roll to try and completely avoid damage by not taking the hit, while blocking is taking the hit and hoping your armor and aura levels are enough. Dodging would be better suited for 'weaker' characters that don't have the armor or aura to survive barrages for long, whereas blocking would be for 'stronger' characters that have the armor and aura reserves to survive those attacks. I'd guess it would depend on what's best for your character based on their equipment and traits.
