Changes [12/22/2015]
So dodge is solely dependent upon luck?
I didn't say solely.
Is there a luck cap?
Awesome, looking forward to checking out these changes and how the game is growing. Now we just need to get our Pbase back up! Tell your friends!!!
Luck is a stat, like strength, dex, and con. It's capped at 25 like the rest.
I am so glad you said that Morlhach about the luck cap. I have always wondered about that.

Have you figured out where kids come from yet? 
Stork silly everyone knows that.
Does this mean that First parry and Second parry for monks is also affected by this change? I assume so, but thought I would ask.
Monks are different in this change. As far as I know, there's no way to increase first parry or second parry over 110%.
Reread this post and realized I misinterpreted what the change to dodge/parry was.
