It's been a bone of contention before that multiple skills can't be used, 
like Tackling, followed by a Wrestling skill check on the subsequent 
grapple to hold. For the example of Dodging, I'm asking about stuff like
using the dodging skill in the same round that you use your Maroglave skill
to strike twice at an opponent. There's no logical reason why both skills
wouldn't be used, as one doesn't preclude use of the other, but for many
it's been an unwritten rule that you can't make multiple skill checks in 
the same round.
