Does dodge roll against capturing?????

I don't see why not. It's an attack attempt. The special ability card mentions nothing about it having to be an attack to do damage (though is does say the figure with dodge can avoid damage), it just says if the figure is hit by a ranged or close combat attack, it can roll to dodge. If the dodge is successful, the attack attempt is considered a miss.

Dodge works in capture attepms!

But it doesn't apply damage and the ability card says in the very first sentence:

"This warrior avoids damage from attacks half of the time. (Optional)"

Are you sure??????????????????????????

yes .. DODGE works on a capture attempt ...
----------------
This Warrior avoids damage from attacks half the time (optional)
When this warrior is successfully hit by a ranged or close combat attack.
----------------
as stated ... SUCCESSFULLY hit by a ranged or close combat attack, since a CAPTURE attempt is also considered a close combat attack, DODGE can/will take effect ...

"when this warrior is successfully hit by a ranged or close combat attack, roll 1 six-sided die. On a result of 4, 5, or 6 the attack is considered to miss this warrior instead"

The attack doesn't need to do damage to be dodged. Since capture attempts are close combat attacks, dodge is activated when a successful capture attempt is made.

Wacho - check in on the clan forum

sure is sure :)
warlord i may not be ...
but know this i ...

Thanks folks.

Oh, and Id100o, I just wanted to know if you were 100% sure. Can't blame me for questioning.

yup ... i'm 100% sure ...
it is stated on the SA card :D
i dodge whenever i can :) specially when the oppurtunity arrises
with my Amazon Drac. or stalking skellies (these figs are just interesting, you'll never know if you'll live) ...
just ram or venom figs with dodge, and say goodbye to dodge
----------
why dodge don't work on ram?
'coz ram is a movement and not a close combat attack or range combat attack ...
why dodge won't work against venom?
venom AUTOMATICALLY damages opposing figs in base with it's front arc, and since you dun have to declare a close combat or range combat attack, dodge won't take effect 'coz there has been no combat action of any kind.
