D&D 4E 4e Tumble. How do you do that?

[doseyclwn]

Is there a tumble skill? If you aren't trained in it, would you allow your players to do it, and if so, how? Any help is appreciated.

 

[Surgoshan]

There's no tumble skill. It's simply that some rogues now get a bonus against OA, regardless. Oh, and halflings, too.

 

[Zurai]

Rogues get an Encounter Power called Tumble. No one else can Tumble unless they multiclass to Rogue and take the Tumble power.

 

[Lucas Blackstone]

The skills are laid out in the chapter named Skills in the PHB. There is no Tumble skill. The two closest things are acrobatic stunts ( which do not allow for avoiding OA's) and the Rogue utility power called Tumble.

There are a variety of other powers that allow for movement on the battlefield without provoking.

 

[Thasmodious]

Between teleports, forced movement and shifting, we don't need guys in plate armor rolling around the battlefield like Cirque du Soleil performers.

Yup Tumble is now a 2nd Level Utility power useable 1/encounter that allows the rogue to shift at half their speed. Artful Dodger Rogues gain charisma modifier as a bonus to their AC vs OAs. Halflings receive a natural +2 vs OAs.

Shift one square as a move action. Some of the rogue powers allow you to shift foes and yourself around a bit but not much.

The question here is: what do you want out of Tumble? You can probably find skill-based uses in Acrobatics. If you want to negate Opportunity Attacks, you'll have to rely on powers (like the Rogue's Tumble power).
