Nicely done. Now I can fist a dex 3 ARC without having to worry about them having a massively unfair advantage.

Just a clarification on the Dex 3 change, this doesn't remove it from the special 2 rolling, just forced knockdowns/side rolling from push/explosions/etc.

Bug fixes are nice, but knock-back in its current iteration is really disappointing imo and I would rather have prior flinch as flawed as it was. EE3 sniper fp drains need to be increased for balance imo, because as it stands there's not much of a point taking it against jedi, and there tends to be a lot of jedi players.
