-====== Athletics ======
-Athletics represents a character's overall fitness and physical capabilities, apart from sheer physical strength which is covered by [[Physique]].
-===== Actions =====
-//See also: [[Actions]]//
-==== Overcome ====
-Athletics allows you to [[actions#overcome]] any obstacle that requires physical movement - jumping, running, climbing, swimming, etc. If it resembles something you’d do in the decathlon, you’d roll Athletics. You use overcome actions with Athletics to move between zones in a conflict if there’s a scene aspect or other obstacle in your way. You’d also roll Athletics to chase or race in any contests or challenges that rely on these types of activities.
-==== Create Advantage ====
-When you [[actions#create an advantage]] with Athletics, you’re jumping to high ground, running faster than the opponent can keep up with, or performing dazzling acrobatic maneuvers in order to confound your foes.
-==== Attack ====
-Athletics is not meant as an attack skill.
-==== Defend ====
-Athletics is a catch-all skill to roll to [[actions#defend]] in a physical conflict, against close quarters and ranged attacks. You can also use it to defend against characters trying to move past you, if you’re in a position to physically interfere with whoever’s making the attempt.
-===== Stunts =====
-//See also: [[Stunts#Athletics|Stunts (list)]]//
-==== Body Check ====
-You may use Athletics to charge an enemy at least two [[zones]] away, and your roll counts as a [[actions#physical attack]]. If the enemy defends successfully, you can move into their zone regardless. You may only do this if your movement would otherwise have been unrestricted by a scene aspect.
-==== Hardcore Parkour ====
-+2 to [[actions#Create an Advantage]] with Athletics if you are in a chase across rooftops or a similarly precarious environment.
-==== Roll with the Blow ====
-When you [[outcomes#succeed with style]] on a [[actions#defend]] action against an opponent’s Attack roll, you gain a scene aspect with a free invocation, as opposed to just a [[aspects#boosts|boost]].
-==== Combat Dodge ====
-You gain a +1 when using Athletics to defend.
-==== To Fast to Hit ====
-You gain an additional +2 to defend when using the [[actions#Full Defense]] option. This bonus is not gained when you give up your Full Defense bonus to defend for someone else.
-==== Contortionist ====
-You may fit into or through spaces that are normally too small for your [[tables#scale]].
-=== Double Jointed ===
-//Requires Contortionist//. You gain a +2 bonus to Overcome any bonds or restraints.
-==== Acrobat ====
-You gain a +2 bonus when using Athletics to [[actions#Overcome]] an obstacle.
-==== Falling with Grace ====
-You gain a +2 to defend against falling damage when you are close enough to a surface or things (tree branches, clotheslines, etc.) that could be used to slow your descent.
-==== Fleet of Foot ====
-You may move 2 zones without rolling provided there are no [[aspects#Situation Aspects]] to overcome.
-==== Equestrian ====
-You may use Athletics instead of [[Survival]] for riding animals.
