In pokemon, you MUST fight the first character who pops up and challenges you on hardmode, but horses more often than not back down from fights (and the challenger ceases to challenge).
We should create this roll for normal posts, I think to better help those who get randomly attacked and would just haul ass out of there instead of actually fighting. Phi, for example, would probably just run away and not engage in battle. So her defense isn't geared toward maintaining this 1 on 1 attack/defense/damage dance.
