playing Wrath of the Righteous as a home game with a goblin rogue, took the Roll With It feat. the wording is ambiguous however...
If you are struck by a melee weapon you can try to convert some or all of that damage into movement that sends you off in an uncontrolled bouncing roll. To do so, you must make an Acrobatics check (DC = 5 + the damage dealt from the attack) as an immediate action. If you succeed in this check, you take no damage from the actual attack but instead convert that damage into movement with each point equating to 1 foot of movement.
how can you convert some *or* all if a successful check is required? do I say "I want to convert ten points of those sixteen" or do I just only convert ten points out of more based on the roll? I'm thinking the former.
The DC is always 5 + total damage that would have been dealt.
You can choose to not convert all of the damage into movement if you make the Acrobatics check successfully, that is, you could choose to take some damage.
Edit: I think I see the problem you are having. Ignore where it says some and then the whole thing makes sense. If you want to add back in the some part, I suppose you could choose to convert less damage and move less distance, but would still have to make the check based on the damage that would have been dealt in total not what you would like to convert or else you could make yourself always succeed at avoiding a minimum amount of damage which I doubt is intended.
