Conclusions

Encumbrance does not have any linear effect on dodge. A penalty does appear to apply above light encumbrance, but it seems you can compensate with bonuses. Agility seems to improve dodge on the order of ~2% for every 10 that it is raised, limited by diminishing returns along with bonuses and penalties. Picking a specific race for "dodge" purposes seems nominal, rather pick what you feel is the best fit for your play purpose; party damage, solo character, etc...

I might do some further testing to see when the +dodge bonus levels off, just not sure if I want to post that and spoil the fun...

Cheers!
