Action: Balance

move

  • Single Action or Free Action
  • Skills: Acrobatics 

You balance on a narrow surface, a slippery area, or otherwise need precise footing and weight placement. Often this is used during skill challenges or combat for mobility purposes. Starting a balance is a single action, maintaining it is a free action. The DC for this action depends on the surface being balanced on.

Flat surfaces, such as boards or walls, usually are DC 15. Taut objects, like rope, are DC 20. Icy conditions, like an ice floor or ice-covered water, are DC 15, but ice on already narrow surfaces can raise the DC by 5 to 10 points.
