[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8180867, member: 6855259"] What specifically is the check for? I could see a check to avoid being damaged (soft landing) or to avoid being "prone" on the first turn and niether would require an action. I realize a character is not actually prone but I could see hitting the water awkwardly could cause the equivalent of being prone in terms of requiring half your movement to orient yourself and become "unprone" before you start swimming. If I did this I would allow either athletics or acrobatics. The acrobatic character who rolls really high sommersaults in the air and hits the water with toes pointed in what would be a perfect score in olympic diving. The character using athletics braces himself and uses after as soon as he hits he hits he kicks his legs hard and skulls with his hand to break the fall and orient himself how he wants. On a failure they end upside down and crooked and maybe lose what they are holding. [/QUOTE]
