[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] [@GreivousKhan] surely if the attack was from 7 feet away I'd have a 2 feet advantage to to turn and run if the average human stride was 5 feet? lets keep into account that rodetta's reflexes are much faster than the average human. [/quote] Keep in mind that his reach is about just shy 5 feet (counting his sword and arm length), typically fights are fought at about ten feet away with anything closer than that being pretty much grappling range after a quick lunge. You only need to take a step forward to be within striking range with a sword at that distance. Also Rodetta's reflexes is not to much of a factor against someone who's speed is his main trait.
