Uh... could I attempt to dodge too? This guy hits pretty hard... Also was I suppose to add my Strength bonus also? Unsure on a whip.
Yup, you should be able to dodge. Each round on our turn we get to take either one full action or two half actions. In addition, we all get one reaction per round that we perform when it's not our turn - typically a dodge or parry.
As for adding the strength bonus, yes, I believe you get to do that with a whip as it applies to all melee weapons and I couldn't find any notation saying that the strength modifier is excluded from whips.
