Acrobatics
Acrobatics measures your ability to perform tasks requiring coordination and grace.
Utility
Untrained
- Balance
BalanceSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You are in a square that contains a narrow surface, uneven ground, or another similar feature.Description You move across a narrow surface or uneven ground, attempting an Acrobatics check against its Balance DC. You are flat-footed while on a narrow surface or uneven ground.
Applications- Untrained tangled roots, uneven cobblestones.
- Trained wooden beam.
- Expert deep, loose gravel
- Master tightrope, smooth sheet of ice
- Legendary razor’s edge, chunks of floor falling in midair
- Critical Success You move up to your Speed.
- Success You move up to your Speed, treating it as difficult terrain (every 5 feet costs 10 feet of movement).
- Failure You must remain stationary to keep your balance (wasting the action) or you fall. If you fall, your turn ends.
- Critical Failure You fall and your turn ends.
- Tumble Through
Tumble ThroughSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You are in a square that contains a narrow surface, uneven ground, or another similar feature.Description You Stride up to your Speed. During this movement, you can try to move through the space of one enemy. Attempt an Acrobatics check against the enemy’s Reflex DC as soon as you try to enter its space.
Applications You can Tumble Through using Climb, Fly, Swim, or another action instead of Stride in the appropriate environment. Degrees of Performance- Success You move through the enemy’s space, treating the squares in its space as difficult terrain (every 5 feet costs 10 feet of movement). If you don’t have enough Speed to move all the way through its space, you get the same effect as a failure.
- Failure Your movement ends, and you trigger reactions as if you had moved out of the square you started in.
Trained
- Maneuver in Flight
[Maneuver in FlightSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You have a fly Speed.Description You try a difficult maneuver while flying.
Applications Attempt an Acrobatics check. The GM determines what maneuvers are possible, but they rarely allow you to move farther than your fly Speed.- Trained steep ascent or descent
- Expert fly against the wind, hover midair
- Master reverse direction
- Legendary fly through gale-force winds
- Success You succeed at the maneuver.
- Failure Your maneuver fails. The GM chooses if you simply can’t move or if some other detrimental effect happens. The outcome should be appropriate for the maneuver you attempted (for instance, being blown off course if you were trying to fly against a strong wind).
- Critical Failure As failure, but the consequence is more dire.
- Squeeze
SqueezeEXPLORATION ACTION
Description You contort yourself to squeeze through a space so small you can barely fit through.
Applications This action is for exceptionally small spaces; many tight spaces are difficult terrain that you can move through more quickly and without a check.- Trained space barely fitting your shoulders
- Master space barely fitting your head
- Critical Success You squeeze through the tight space in 1 minute per 10 feet of squeezing.
- SuccessYou squeeze through in 1 minute per 5 feet.
- Critical Failure You become stuck in the tight space. While you’re stuck, you can spend 1 minute attempting another Acrobatics check at the same DC. Any result on that check other than a critical failure causes you to become unstuck.
