A weak, defensive combat skill. I know it will never happen but this is the idea that just popped in my head-

-Add dodge or parry as a combat stat and make agility boost it.

-Every level in agility can give you a .04% chance to dodge an attack. So at lv99 you have about 4% chance to dodge.

-With a defender equipped you will parry instead of dodge and do quick counterattack.

-Add agility armor and dodge prayer. Could also add a prayer to make you counter attack instead of using a defender.

-Every 20 agility levels could give 1 combat level so new max combat would be 130.

-Every dodge can give you a little bit of experience in agility.

I see a balance issue with this suggestion. Would magic and range get a mechanism to counterattack? Is melee already a preferred mode of combat? I think this would increase melee damage per a second, and leave the other styles behind.

It already is a combat skill.

I have 99 agility.

I tested this out by going into free to play wearing rune armour and someone was chasing me without wearing heavy armour and he thought he was going to catch me but my agility level made it so he couldn't keep up even when I was carrying much more weight than him.

Having max agility is like having full graceful effect while you can wear anything you want.

Also if you wear the agility cape as fashion, it still reduces your carry weight by 4 kg which is awesome; it's possible to flex and also receive a passive carry weight bonus (as well as prayer bonus if your cape is trimmed.)

Forgot to mention that the agility cape also has the effect of full restore of your run energy once per day and it also acts as a stamina potion for 4 minutes (if I remember correctly.)

It would actually be pretty OP for escaping someone in the wildy I think.
