Proposal: It’s Just A Jump To The Left

Enacted 8-0. Josh

To the list of Reactions in the rule “BotScript”, add:-

* “...evade”

To the “A Reaction is considered Resolvable” list, add:-

* It is an evade

Add a subrule to “BotScript” called “Evasion”:-

When a Bot evades, it moves out of the direct line of attack, requiring its opponent to compensate. The evading Bot is not considered to be present in any space until the start of its next Turn; except for the purposes of checking for Melee and Taser spaces (in both of which cases the number of squares checked is reduced by one), Sudden Death detonations and being In Bounds.

If multiple Bots occupy the same space, they both take Scratch Damage and move one space forwards.

Some basic manoeuvreing: spend a turn to dodge if you think you’re about to be rammed or attacked, at the cost of not doing anything else with that turn.

Minor concern for that last line: if two bots end up in the same space facing the same direction, they just zoom right on out of the arena.

for I think the scenario Trapdoorspyder sets out would be hilarious.
