Tiered Skill
The Athletics skill covers actions that require large amounts of physical exertion.
Actions Covered
- Jumping
- Swimming
- Climbing
- Riding
- Prolonged Exertion
Specific Uses
Jumping
A jumping action is used concurrently with a move action. Characters must still move the number of feet that they jump through movement actions. The following table of jump distance DCs assumes that the character is getting a 20 foot running start. If this is not the case, the DC goes up by 15.
| Action | DC |
|---|---|
| Lateral Jump | |
| - 5 feet | 10 |
| - 10 feet | 15 |
| - 15 feet | 25 |
| - 20 feet | 35 |
| - 25 feet | 45 |
| - 30 feet | 55 |
| Vertical Jump* | |
| -1 foot | 8 |
| - 2 feet | 12 |
| - 3 feet | 18 |
| - 4 feet | 24 |
| - 5 feet | 30 |
| Reduce the fall damage of a downward jump by 10 feet | 15 |
- This is in addition to vertical reach. The average human can reach 8 feet without jumping
Swimming
A swimming action is used concurrently with a movement action. Swimming costs double movement, AKA: for every 10 feet of movement a character spends, that character moves 5 feet.
| Action | DC |
|---|---|
| Calm water | 15 |
| Rough water | 20 |
| Stormy water | 25 |
| Modifiers | |
| Swimming with the current | -5 |
| Swimming against the current | +10 |
| Swimming with equipment | -2 for every 10 lbs over a light load |
Climbing
The climbing action is used in concert with a move action. Characters move at one quarter their speed. Characters who fail a check
| Action | DC |
|---|---|
| Rope with a wall to brace against | 10 |
| Knotted Rope | 10 |
| Rope without a wall | 15 |
| Surface with plentiful handholds | 20 |
| Surface with limited handholds | 25 |
| Surface with limited handholds | 30 |
| Ceiling with handholds | 35 |
| A nearly smooth surface (brick wall) | 40 |
