Acrobatic Stunt to "somersault over an opponent?"

[CapnZapp]

You don't need to add 1/2 the monster's level. Simply go with the chart on page 42.

Adding half level is using the DMG chart, sort of.

What I want is the level modifier to be right there, in the skill description of the PHB.

Adding a "see the DMG" reference isn't done for any other skill, so I don't want it for this skill either.

So let me answer you by saying "you don't need to refer to a completely different book - that players likely don't have - when you can simply add something like "+monster's half level" to the skill text."

I agree, especially because it's not "refer to DMG42," but rather, "refer to errata." Maybe when they re-publish the DMG and the DM Screen with the correct errata (would that be 4.1?), then I'll look up the table. In the mean time, DC15 + 1/2 monster level is close enough.
