Gallifreyans had all the senses possessed by humans, and to generally superior degrees. Gallifreyans also had extraordinary reflexes and precision timing, literally superhuman. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'') The [[Third Doctor]] stated that their reflexes were ten times a human's. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'') To protect himself and [[Malady Chang]] from rifle fire shot at them by [[Jonah Cosgrove]], the [[Eighth Doctor]] demonstrated his reflexes by using a pistol to shoot the incoming bullets harmlessly out of the air. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Trading Futures (novel)|Trading Futures]]'') In the space of four nanoseconds, an incarnation of the Doctor moved fast enough to dodge shots fired at him by fifty invisible and indestructible android assassins, whilst devising a plan to use the energy from their attacks to charge a [[vortex manipulator]] and escape. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's' Familiar]]'') [[The Master#As Missy|Missy]] later utilized this tactic to escape from the [[Cyber-conversion|cyber-converted]] [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') and several [[Dalek]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's' Familiar]]''), all whilst giving the impression that she was killed in the blasts.
