Martial Power Excerpt: Daring Acrobat

Martial Power Excerpts: Daring Acrobat

Quote:
Daring Acrobat

“Agile movement is as much offensive as it is defensive.”

Prerequisites: Rogue, trained in Acrobatics

Acrobatics is a widespread and popular talent. All people, from nobles to peasants, enjoy acrobatics shows, whether amid the finery of court or the debris of the street. A few venturesome religious rites, especially those that pay homage to Avandra or Kord, require the skill. Mastery of the body is part of numerous education philosophies, and acrobatics is unmatched in cultivating fitness and balance. Thieves and burglars use the skill to ply their trade. Training is easy to find and widely accepted. Some youngsters attain a level of mastery well before they reach adolescence.
Spoiler:
Three things that pop into my head from this article:

The piece of artwork for it is pretty awesome.

Is Wild Tumble Cut is interesting in that it leaves you in a partial disadvantage. In that you now have combat advantage placed against you.

Also, Flawless Stunt is definitely one Utility Power people can say is more then useful outside of combat.

Aerialist + Daring Acrobat +stealthy powers+alchemy = Ninja = real ultimate power!

I'm going to have to build one and totally flip out and kill people.

Articulate language + action-packed combat = Cool (in my opinion)

Also, a big fan of this PP. Just what the rogue ordered.

Oh, I can't wait to create myself a really cool thief-acrobat. BTW, I love the Dramatic Finish attack power and the integration of the charge into the rogue class.
