Yeah, that's skirting the edges of the rules a bit...but if I were the GM I'd allow it - with a few caveats. First, you'd do a normal Power Dodge (Basic Speed + 3 + Talent / 2). If you succeed you can then roll to activate your ability normally. Here's the bad part - by doing this you are totally giving up your defense and hoping the target rolls badly enough on the Fright Check table to affect what they are doing right then. I don't see anything wrong or unbalanced by that approach. Again, just something I'd allow as a GM.
