Skill: Athletics

Athletics is a character's ability to use one of the oldest tools known to many civilizations to complete a task: one's strength. Skill checks and actions involving Athletics involve lifting, dragging, or carrying things; as well as throwing, tossing, or simply prying things open. Mechanically, Athletics is the primary skill used for engaging in Grapples | ◈ and Shoving | ◈. Skill talents involving Athletics expand Atheltics reach and ability to cover more bases, allowing the strong to be that much stronger.

Atheltics only uses STR / Strength by default. Athletics is a Primary Skill, meaning it is a major skill that can only be gained by mechanics that grant proficiency.

Skill Talents available by Athletics proficiency

These Talents can be gained during Character Progression or other means (such as gaining it from a Background, Increasing your Intelligence attribute, gaining the Expert Talent Gain class feature, etc). Like all Talents, these are meant to be good at your character level, often scaling with you.
