Feverish Defense vs Ranged Attackes?
Is the "extra effort" Feverish Defense option applicable to ranged attacks?
I'm looking for RAW here.... |

Why wouldn't it? It adds to any legal active defense, any of which can be applied to ranged attacks (with appropriate equipment and/or skills).

Feverish Defense doesn't care where the attack is coming from, it only modifies your defense, as long as you're aware of the attack and can defend normally then you can also use Feverish Defense. |

Re: Feverish Defense vs Ranged Attackes?
Does Feverish Defense works for just one single roll OR to one single type of defense (parry, block or Dodge)?
Example: Someone have to dodge 3 attacks and wishes to use Feverish Defence. He will need to spend one or three FP? |

Feverish Defense works for one roll, so you would need to spend three FP to use it on each defense.

Re: Feverish Defense vs Ranged Attackes?
Yes. Is there something in its phrasing that made you believe it was limited to defense only against a particular type of attack? 1 FP gives you +2 to any single defense roll, against any type of attack which offers an active defense that you could legally make.
