| Benefit = You can balance on a solid surface that could not normally take your body weight. (Example: bamboo stalk, thin branch, oiled paper roof, etc.) You still have weight and the laws of inertia still apply. | | Benefit = You can balance on a solid surface that could not normally take your body weight.

| Benefit = You can attempt to walk across water or another liquid at least as heavy as water. You must move at least 20 feet each round you attempt this, or you will fall into the water. More dense liquids may or may not be easier or harder. Walking on lava would be easier (assuming you can resist the incredible heat) because lava is often viscous and sticky, but walking on quicksilver would be very, very hard (+50) despite its extreme density. The GM adjudicates all unusual circumstances. | | Benefit = You can attempt to walk across water or another liquid at least as heavy as water.

| Benefit = You can walk on the surface of a fog, or mist, or even simply the boundary between hot and cold air. You can use the heat shimmers above a hot surface as a sort of ladder, for example. Note that this is not flight, as any perturbation of the gaseous surface acts as waves or stormy seas and can force you to move quickly to find another place to stand. | | Benefit = You can walk on the surface of a fog, or mist, or even simply the boundary between hot and cold air.

| Benefit = Once you have 21 or more ranks of Acrobatics, you are able to tightrope walk on surfaces thinner than the limits in the table above. Indeed, once you have reached such amazing levels of skill, you are able to walk upon a spider web, or tightrope across a single thread, use an unraveled hem to stair-step your way up a giant, and many other amazing things. This often looks like you are walking on a gaseous surface, but having anything solid at all to use as a toehold, no matter how tiny, makes this a much easier check to attempt. | | Benefit = Once you have 21 or more ranks of Acrobatics, you are able to tightrope walk on surfaces thinner than the limits in the table above.
