Stop dodging my bullets!

Use a combination of Situational Awareness from Tactical Shooting and Doug Cole's Passive 14.

How would this work with Luck? Making defence rolls is one of its major uses.

Any rapid fire attack is hard to dodge, whether it is arrows, bullets, laser blasts, or sling stones. It is just that bullets are the most common rapid fire projectile that characters will encounter. Of course, since the majority of modern assault rifles have a Recoil 2, the attacker would have to succeed by 10+ to hit with six bullets. In addition, the dodge is not reduced by 5, you dodge one attack per point that you make the dodge by, so even a partial success may mean that difference between life and death.
