You can keep your balance while traversing narrow or treacherous surfaces. You can also dive, flip, jump, and roll, avoiding attacks and confusing your opponents.
This also adds a bonus to the Feint action and to the Total Defense Full Round action.
This skill has three distinct uses:
Obstructed Movement
There are multiple different things that can obstruct movement. Awkward Terrain, Narrow Surfaces/Uneven Ground, Occupied Spaces.
Difficult Terrain
Acrobatics Modifiers | 10 + DC Modifier |
---|---|
Lightly Obstructed (gravel, sand) | 2 |
Severely Obstructed (car, rubble) | 5 |
Slightly Slippery (wet) | 2 |
Severely Slippery (icy) | 5 |
Slightly Sloped (<45°) | 2 |
Severely Sloped (>45°) | 5 |
Slightly Unsteady (boat in rough water) | 2 |
Mildly Unsteady (boat in a storm) | 5 |
Severely Unsteady (earthquake) | 10 |
Move at full speed on narrow or uneven surfaces | 10 |
Cross Narrow Surfaces/Uneven Ground
Surface Width | Base Acrobatics DC |
---|---|
Greater than 3 feet wide | 1 |
1–3 feet wide | 5 |
7–11 inches wide | 10 |
2–6 inches wide | 15 |
Less than 2 inches wide | 20 |
First, you can use Acrobatics to move on narrow surfaces and uneven ground without falling. A successful check allows you to move at half speed across such surfaces—only one check is needed per round. Use the following table to determine the base DC, which is then modified by the Acrobatics skill modifiers noted below. While you are using Acrobatics in this way, you are considered flat-footed and lose your Dexterity bonus to your AC (if any). If you take damage while using Acrobatics, you must immediately make another Acrobatics check at the same DC to avoid falling or being knocked prone.
- Modifiers or Special Situations
Balancing Pole: Using a balancing pole while traversing a narrow surface grants a +1 circumstance bonus to the Acrobatics check.
Occupied Spaces
In order to cross an Occupied space that is occupied by someone other then a Friendly an Acrobatics check is used.
Occupied Space | Base Acrobatics DC |
---|---|
Friendly | +0 |
Neutral | +10 |
Surprised Enemy | +15 |
Aware Enemy | Overrun Technique |
Jumping and Falling
Long Jump | Acrobatics DC |
---|---|
5 feet | 5 |
10 feet | 10 |
15 feet | 15 |
20 feet | 20 |
Greater than 20 feet | +5 per 5 feet |
High Jump | Acrobatics DC |
---|---|
1 foot | 4 |
2 feet | 8 |
3 feet | 12 |
4 feet | 16 |
Greater than 4 feet | +4 per foot |
Finally, you can use the Acrobatics skill to make jumps or to soften a fall. The base DC to make a jump is equal to the distance to be crossed (if horizontal) or four times the height to be reached (if vertical). These DCs double if you do not have at least 10 feet of space to get a running start. The only Acrobatics modifiers that apply are those concerning the surface you are jumping from. If you fail this check by 4 or less, you can attempt a DC 20 Reflex save to grab hold of the other side after having missed the jump. If you fail by 5 or more, you fail to make the jump and fall (or land prone, in the case of a vertical jump).
- Modifiers or Special Situations
Faster Base Movement: Creatures with a base land speed above 30 feet receive a +4 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks made to jump for every 10 feet of their speed above 30 feet. Creatures with a base land speed below 30 feet receive a –4 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks made to jump for every 10 feet of their speed below 30 feet. No jump can allow you to exceed your maximum movement for the round.
Running Jump: For a running jump, the result of your Acrobatics check indicates the distance traveled in the jump (and if the check fails, the distance at which you actually land and fall prone). Halve this result for a standing long jump to determine where you land. Also, see Pole.
Pole: If you use a pole as part of a running jump, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your Acrobatics check (but must let go of the pole in the process).
Falling: When you deliberately fall any distance, even as a result of a missed jump, a DC 15 Acrobatics skill check allows you to ignore the first 10 feet fallen, although you still end up prone if you take damage from a fall. See Falling Damage for more details.)
Combat and etc...
- Total Defense
- If a player uses this they can add there Acrobatics Rank divided by 2 round up to there total AC bonus.
- Feint
- When a player attempts a Feint they can apply there Skill Rank die to the total.
- Initiative Check
- If a Player has to preform an Initiative Check against an NPC/Monster/Player and the conflicting action requires the fully body to move (I.E: not just an action that involves grabbing something quicker or anything that could benefit from 'Sleight of Hands' skill) then the Player can add there Acrobatics skill die to the check.
