Talent: Athletics

Athletics is a basic catch-all ability for non-combat physical maneuvers. Jumping, running, swimming, throwing, and organized (mild-contact and non-contact) sports fall into this category. A simple rule of thumb is that you may roll athletics for any sort of physical feat that does not deal direct damage to another character. While throwing a soft ball, for example, is an Athletics + Dexterity roll, throwing a knife is a Melee + Dexterity roll.
