Athletics

The Athletics skill represents your character’s general level of physical fitness, whether through training, natural gifts, or other means (like magic or genetic alteration). It’s how good you are at moving your body. As such, it is a popular choice for nearly any action-y character.

Athletics is a catch-all skill to roll for defense in all kind of conflicts, against close-quarters and ranged attacks.

Fancy Footwork

When you successfully defend with Athletics against a melee attack, you may choose to immediately move 2 meters. This movement doesn’t trigger any Attack of Opportunities.

Uncanny Dodge

When you successfully defend with Athletics against a ranged attack, you may choose to immediately move 2 meters. This movement doesn’t trigger any Attack of Opportunities.

Danger Sense

Fleet of Foot

When you take the Dash action, you can move an extra of 4 meters.

Sprinter’s Charge
