I’ve noticed in our games that Acrobatics doesn’t seem to get used much. I know it can be used to escape or avoid grapples and similar effects, and that there’s the DMG tumble action. I’m interested in creative ways that players (or DMs) have used this skill—or even just obvious ways to use it that I’m not seeing.
One thing that seems to me to be an issue is that a lot of “cinematic” maneuvers really fall at least partly under Athletics, e.g., jumping, and a character with great Acrobatics might not be so great at Athletics, or at least not good enough to take advantage of Acrobatics.
