Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
The description doesn't say no active defense is allowed, so, low-tech weapons should be possible to dodge. Bullets, however, will ruin your day.

Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
Using Dodge against firearms doesn't mean you are actually dodging bullets. It just represents evasive movement.

Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
IIRC, RAW only allows dodging bullets when you know that you're being shot at. The first use of a Reverse Missiles spell wouldn't qualify unless it's a very magically-savvy opponent.

Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
I'd just use the rules for Reflective DR (considering this is basically that but only missile weapons).
The real question is, does the attacker also have the shield up? ;) |

Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
If it's a missile that's slow enough to see, anyone with combat reflexes should probably get to dodge.

Re: Reverse Missiles - Can you dodge?
I was just thinking. Logically, using Reflection rules from DR, it makes sense someone could dodge a bullet at them because they can determine where it's going to go. I don't know that a spell would follow a physics determined path to allow dodging once reversed... then again, could just be assumed it does for the sake of allowing defenses.
