[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7580497, member: 15882"] I think a lot of these skills would get more use if you had to make a skill check to use the Help action. I can describe how I leap across a table-top, then somersault down and slide between a person's legs and confound them as my ally smacks them in the face with advantage. That's the Help action. It requires no roll. I kind of miss having to do a roll for that kind of thing. 3e, the default rule to aid another person was 10. Or 5 lower than the task, depending on what was happening. I use acrobatics for crossing slippery surfaces like ice or wet stone. I let people reduce falling damage with an acrobatics roll, as long as they are jumping down(not getting pushed or falling). They can lower the height by 10 feet(1d6) with a successful roll. I let people juggle with acrobatics, although that's probably more Performance(Dex) check. Acrobatics can be used to move through a crowd without being slowed down. Many of the things you see in Cirque du Soleil is probably acrobatics. Like, climbing a rope or leaping from one ledge to another is athletics but doing a flip and being able to catch a moving swing is acrobatics(trapeze). [/QUOTE]
