So a giant rhino is charging at you...

OK, this is a really, big mutant rhino that is 3 hexes wide. It does a charge attack with the intention of trampling and/or goring you. Can you dodge? A person with a move of less than 20 can only step to the side one hex which means he will still get hit by the 3-hex wide attack, right?

In a related question, if there is an area affect attack, that is bigger than your step, there is no way to dodge it unless your 'step' lets you get behind cover, right? It seems like an artifact of turn-based movement to me and there should be some way to get your full move worth of 'step' when dodging by giving up your action for the next turn. Has anyone tried this?
