Evasion skill

Evasion is 1 of the 3 primary defensive skills. A measure of how well you can avoid attacks by dodging. This is by far the most important combat skill. It is The only thing that is affected by reflexes. And it is also hurt by high hindrance and encumbrance.

When you are attacked. Dragon Realms first has your evasion absorb all of the attack it can, only after that does it check shield OR parry, then armor. so if you are able to evade 100% of an attack then you wont learn any parry or shield from it.

To get around this. You can " SET EVASION 50 " to use only 50% of your evasion, or any value, so that you will use some parry or shield skill. But be careful you don't forget you set it low then go fighting something tough.
