Am in undersYeah, I am feeling better about the power of this maneuver.Plaguescarred - I agree that applying your dodge before the enemy rolls is more interesting and more of a gamble, but you would have to be consistent across classes.

It's not as overpowered as it sounds since you can only use it once per round and miss out on snhttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29750439/Artful_Dodging?post_id=528617601#528617601I have artful dodge on my rogue, and I thought it was going to be extremely helpful until we ran into enemies that could attack multiple times per round.

The former is more of a gamble.http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29750439/Artful_Dodging?post_id=528617477#528617477In a recent playtest session we weren't sure if you can use it after the roll is called or if you have to declare you're using Artful Dodger before knowing the result of the attack roll.

If it needs an average roll, such as an 11, the penalty will be closer to -5http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29750439/Artful_Dodging?post_id=528615433#528615433If I remember what I've read in other posts correctly, the penalty disadvantage grants ranges from -1 to -5 depending on how high the monster needs to roll to hit the rogue.
