It may be that it takes creativity on both the DM and player's part to really bring out the use of the acrobatics skill. Actually, that may be the real culprit here: Most encounters are in places where the acrobatics skill is generally not that useful. Even when there may be an opportunity to use it, we may miss out on those opportunities because of how looking at a 2d map effects our thinking.------------- Funnies time ------------No, what we need is a dose of creativity. Something that will open people's eyes to the glory that is the acrobatics skill. Let us consider the wisdom of our elders. [ATTACH]76218[/ATTACH]We have to consider the facts here: According to our honorable elders (who cannot lie) not only can acrobatics turn halflings into sentient, short ranged ammunition, but their foes are struck dumb by the halfling's look of sheer determination. But we shall not be outdone by the generations that came before us! There simply must be a way to make our projectile weapons more effective. If only halflings could be made ever so slightly more terrifying. Worry not! For 5e has already provided us an answer!Because at the end of the day, the only thing more scary than gazing into the eyes of a flaming skull flying your way would be gazing into the eyes of an airborne one of these...[ATTACH]76219[/ATTACH]Even a dragon's bowls could not withstand the primordial terror at hearing the shrill cry of these small, deformed projectiles as they close in for the kill. Their bravery and determination only matched by the oscillation of their jolly little bellies and giant mouths. Just look at that smug grin on her face as she uses her tiny hands to strum her lute, positively reveling in her own dastardly design! How can the poor flaming skull ever compete against something like that? It just can't, I tell you! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />------- end randomness -------You know, since you mentioned a background involving ice skating, I was thinking about mentioning something about Lake Zarovich and the possibility of Strahd offering permits at an exhorbitant fee, but then I saw that completely random 3rd edition art and nearly lost my popcorn. if 3rd edition can be said to be anything, its certainly randomness done right.Did I mention that 5e's halfling art can be at times downright terrifying? It's almost like their hands and feet are the inverse of what they should be. Not that it ever stopped me from playing a halfling, mind you. There is certainly room for improvement in their depiction of halflings.Edit: Blah, now I feel terrible for riffing on the art, because its incredibly well done! Is it beautiful? Absolutely! But personally, I'd never envision any halfling adventurer of mine looking anything like that. It doesn't really project the essence of adventure, although its certainly a show of artistic talent.</blockquote>
