The Reflex defense is your ability to predict, duck, dodge and generally avoid attacks that blanket an area (such as a Dragon’s breath attack). It also represents your ability to avoid rays of energy, carefully aimed weapon attacks, and other attacks that by-pass most forms of armor. To calculate your Reflex score, use the better of your Dexterity Accuracy (DexA) and Intelligence Accuracy (IntA). Racial bonuses can be granted to the Reflex defense, as well as flat bonuses granted by combat training in “Reflex”.
