The Acrobatics skill is focused on moving around the environment in an efficient, effective and, in some ways, stylishly way. The skill can be useful in both combat and non-combat scenarios and pairs well with the Athletics skill for navigating difficult or dangerous terrain.


Perk Name Requirements Effect
Upon reaching Rank 1: the following Perk is automatically applied, for free:
Confidence -

Sufficiently trained Adventurers can perform acrobatic feats without thinking about it too much: 

♦ The Adventurer no longer needs to roll Acrobatics checks if their Skill-Rating is equal or greater than the check requirement, even during combat.
Each Skill-Rank beyond 1st grants a new Skill-Perk that can be enhanced by the Acrobatics skill.
Reactive Movement -

When the Adventurer successfully dodges or blocks an attack, they can move during the opportunity: 

♦ The Adventurer can move a distance of steps equal to their Size-rating (min 1), when an incoming attack fails.
♦ This movement can be in any direction and does not incur reaction opportunities from the attacker, even within their range.
Emergency Dodge Reactive Movement

The Adventurer can make an emergency evasive action when avoiding deadly harm: 

♦ This Action is considered to be a Standard-Action (50 AP).
♦ This action can be taken in response to another individual's action.

♦ The Adventurer's Defence is doubled against an incoming attack.
♦ If successful in avoiding the attack, the Adventurer must perform one move-action.
♦ However, in doing so: the Adventurer will be knocked down at the location their movement ends.
(Adventurers can still immediately get back up as a Standard-Action (50 AP), or at the beginning of their next turn for free as normal.)
Parkour -

The Adventurer can bypass a limited amount of difficult terrain as part of their movement, whenever the Adventurer encounters difficult terrain or must cross a gap no wider than their Size-Rating: 

♦ The Adventurer can move through or around obstacles and leapable gaps without incurring additional Action-Point costs during movement.
(Normally: Each time an Adventurer encounters such obstacles, they must expend a Quick-Action (25 AP) in order to continue movement).
Ride-On -

The Adventurer can grab onto and climb oversized foes. During movement, the Adventurer can jump and grab onto a creature larger than themselves and climb them: 

♦ If the creature is friendly/willing, no check is required.
♦ If the creature is a hostile, a successful ToHit check will be required to make the initial anchoring.

While holding on: 

♦ The Adventurer must expend a Standard-Action (50 AP) each turn-start to maintain their hold, else they will fall/jump off.
♦ If a hostile/unwilling creature attempts to shake off the Adventurer, the action will cost double (100 AP).

♦ To climb to the top of a creature, the Adventurer must expend 25 AP as a Quick-Action to ascend one story.
♦ The number of stories a creature has is equal to their Size-Rating.
