Roll 2D6 to dodge? magic

If there is a link to a good thread, please link it.

What thoughts do you have on this & do we have a "dodge" type mechanic that is being shown to us? Thanks!

yes, I think it is intended to try to dodge the ball or it will suffer that damage. The same for the Fireball and again the same for the Falling rock traps: you roll dices to check how many damage they inflict to you.
You can't normally defend against a fireball or a falling rock, you can just try to avoid some damage!
