(Or perhaps the Acrobatics skill - I don't have a good handle on those finer points of 3E rules about when its a save and when a check.)Saelorn and Abraxus, I don't know how athletic of you is, nor how cerebral. I can testify that I'm a fairly cerebral person (by inclination and profession) and the only athleticism I engage in regularly is riding my bike to work. Sometimes I need reflexes - eg to dodge a car door, or to move across several lanes of traffic to get to a turn lane or avoid a freeway entry lane or whatever - and I can tell you that at least in my case this has nothing to do with intellect. Or even meditative contemplation. It is about reflexes (which clearly include an element of perception - you don't dodge a fireball by closing your eyes and going all zen on it, unless you're using the Force or something similar).</blockquote>
