Cross Narrow Surfaces
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
You can use Acrobatics to move on narrow surfaces without falling. A 'narrow surface' is any surface less than half your normal space: Thus, for Small and Medium creatures, a space less than 2 and a half feet wide is considered 'narrow'. (For people who feel this is too strict, YOU go out on a two-foot wide ledge a thousand feet up the side of a building and report whether it feels 'narrow'.) An 'extremely narrow' space is less than one fifth the width of a narrow space, or for a small or medium creature, six inches wide. For further modifiers, see the table below. Walking a tightrope is considered a use of this skill, with the lowest entry on the table below. A successful check allows you to move at half speed across such surfaces. Only one check is needed per round. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you are not prone, and have movement remaining, you may attempt to cross again in the same round. If not, it requires another move action. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
