==3.5 Defensive roll==
A character with this feature can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from it than she otherwise would.

Once [[per day]], when she would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), she can attempt to roll with the damage.

To use this ability, the character must attempt a [[Reflex]] [[saving throw]] ([[DC]] = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, she takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, she takes full damage. She must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute her defensive roll—if she is denied her [[Dexterity]] bonus to [[AC]], she can’t use this ability.

Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the Rogue’s Evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.
