[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 5234346, member: 5889"] Might I recommend a different approach? Mechanically what do all those checks do mechanically? 1) Avoid OA's 2) Maybe get a bonus to speed. Instead of requiring a lot of checks for all of those things, I would recommend one or two checks, one for each mechanical benefit. Then let him describe the acrobatic flavor in whichever way he wants. Imo, you never want to impose a lot of checks on something that ultimately amounts to flavor. If a player just wants to sound cool, but isn't get any benefit, then let it be free. If he wants some mechanical benefit, then make him pay the appropriate price for it. This is actually my main beef with the acrobatic stunt in general, by its general description its simply a check to perform a flavor stunt. The rules don't provide any mechanics on what advantage you gain with the stunt. [/QUOTE]
