Can Trample damage be dodged?

[Twan]

Minotaurs are better against bigger units than against humans.

Most trample dammage can be dodged with high natural defense, and it's rather easy (the check being base* defense -adjusted by fatigue- against 10, not against your trampler's attack), but the victim always take 1hp minimal dammage (something very good against powers like twist fate and glamour).

Against ennemies failing the defense check, size is what matter (I think AP dmg = 8 + size difference x2, and not "8 + size x2" like said in the manual)

* I think repell, parry, and shield doesn't work, but items/spells increasing defense (cat charm etc) do. But I'm not sure...
