I really need to figure out how to "say yes" when one of my players is trying to use acrobatics. The skill description is extremely vague.
For instance it says you can somersault over an opponent using acrobatics. What should be the DC for this? Should it provoke an opportunity attack when you attempt it? If the opportunity attack hits, should the DC be increased? Should the enemy be allowed to use the opportunity attack to stop the maneuver? What happens to the DC then? Should the rogue get artful dodger bonus against the opportunity attack? Is this maneuver a move action? If the rogue doesn't want to suffer an opportunity attack, could he be allowed to try it as a standard action?
While I want to "say yes", when the rogue wants to use acrobatics to move through an opponent's space or tumble between two opponents and get to the mage in the back, I'm hesitant to "say yes" because it normally requires a specific race and a paragon feat (Underfoot) to be able to move through an opponent's space without provoking an attack, or the use of an encounter power (Tumble) to move between opponents without provoking an attack.
How do I "say yes", when the rogue is trying (with no malintent) to simulate other high level powers and feats using the acrobatics skill?
