    Hello,

    I have a question about Dodging a BS Attack through a Zero Visibility Zone, I think I assumed something before due to how N3 worked.

    If you are shot through a Zero Visibility Zone, by someone within your ZoC (or by a a Template).

    Do you Dodge on PH-3 or on PH?

    Please provide sources to answers, thank you!

    In N3, you could Dodge with no penalty, because the line said...

    "However, without a clear LoF to his target, the trooper's ARO (or second Short Skill of his Order in Active Turn) options are reduced to BS Attack with a -6 MOD or Dodge without the MOD."

    And Dodge never had -3 penalty (outside of Mines). When you normally didn't have LoF, you'd be declaringing Change Facing and that skill had a PH-3 MOD, but this rule allowed you to declare Dodge and not have the ZvZ penalty, letting you Dodge on flat PH.

    In N4, they deleted Change Facing, and added some extra circumstances in which dodge gets a -3 MOD. (As seen in the Dodge page)

    The Zero Visibility Zone still says you can dodge "without the MOD" (refering to the ZvZ MOD), but doesn't seem to say anything about negating the other possible MODs to Dodge.
