Athletics

Athletics represents a character's overall fitness and physical capabilities, apart from sheer physical strength which is covered by Might.

Trappings

Dodging

A character can make a Athletics roll to avoid physical attacks. Using Athletics for defense means that you cannot use it for other things during the exchange.

Sprinting

Normally a character can only transition a single zone as a supplemental action. This allows a character to potentially move several zones as a standard action. Roll against a Mediocre(+0) difficulty and you may move across that many zones and borders.

Swimming

This offers only basic swimming capabilities and is typically restricted by Endurance.

Jumping

The difficulty of a jump will often be described as either a fixed difficulty or a stress track.

Climbing

The difficulty of a jump will often be described as either a fixed difficulty or a stress track.

Difficulty Modifier Slipperiness Visibility Distraction
+1 Wet, Slick Darkness, Rain Non-threatening

Falling

Falls generate consequences depending on the height as shown in the table below.
