dodgeable

Possible to evade

Dodgeable describes something that can be avoided or evaded.

A dodgeable attack in a video game gives players time to move out of the way.

A dodgeable question is one you can sidestep without directly answering.

The word implies the thing in question isn't inevitable—with sufficient skill or awareness, you can get out of its path.
