Ah! I wondered whether there were situations that Dodge was better than Gymnastics. Previously I'd only been able to come up with two things: I don't think you can specialize Gymnastics for defense, and it's expensive to buy Athletics Group if you want Gym high enough for dodging effectively.

Well, it's not like you need the whole Athletics group if all you're after is the ability to duck and weave a little. 

The specialization aspect is a valid point, and (just another one off the top of my head), Move-By-Wire specifically adds a bonus to the Dodge skill.

@Critias: I was thinking more the situation where you want a point or two in the whole group, but you want maximum Gymnastics. Unless you allow group breaking at chargen time, there's no cost-effective way to do it.
