Prerequisite: Grit
Cost: 4 Points
When an opponent attempts a melee attack against you, you can as a reaction spend 1 Grit point to move 5 feet; doing so grants you a Dodge bonus to AC against the triggering attack equal to one of the following Ability Score Modifiers: Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. This movement does not negate the attack, which is still resolved as if you had not moved from your previous square. This movement is not a Step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this trait. You can use this trait only while wearing light armor or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load. The associated Ability Score must be selected when first taking this trait and cannot be changed later.
