[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6283155, member: 6775039"] [sblock]My Acrobatics check is a 10. I rolled an 18. Total is 28. That exceeds the high DC.[/sblock] As my small craft is tossed every which way, I work feverishly with my pole to steer it free from rocks and keep it level. My balance is challenged at every moment but I am up to the task...barely. I sharply jut the length of wood horizontally, ensuring a calamitous crash against the sheer wall of the rocky cliffs is barely averted. In that same moment, my eyes catch a glimmer of something... Before my eyes register it as an illusory effect of the sunlight bending through riverspray, my ears hear the roar of the waterfall... I just used Perception to automatically succeed a Primary Check to notice the waterfall. I want to use Perception as my second Secondary Skill Use for the Challenge to determine the height or severity of the fall. I automatically pass the low and medium DC with Perception (+ 14) as a Secondary Skill. 1) If the fall is not severe, I'm going to hunker down and go over the fall with my raft. * I'm no stranger to rivers as my homeland in the Feywild is the cradle of the infamous Ley El'endre, "Serpent's Fang" in the common tongue. These rough waters have claimed more than one life. It is a rite of passage of my people to navigate its deadly spiral. I have on more than one occasion. 2) If the fall is severe, I'm going to quickly knot a length of rope around the head and handle of my handaxe, then put it out before me in practiced measurement to feel its balance, and then send it flying toward the boughs of the trees overhanging the 25 foot cliff-face. If it sticks, I'm going to pull myself up the rope to the top of the cliffs. ** When I was a child, I would help out in my grandmother's garden by standing sentinel, equipped with 3 child-sized handaxes on my belt. When the dog-sized hares native to our land would invade, initially I failed miserably with my aim, but the whirring sound of the axe cutting the air would frighten them off. Eventually I became so proficient that every evening of my watch we had rabbit stew. [sblock]I'm fairly certain that Athletics would apply to hanging on to the raft. * I would like to use one of my two advantages here to lower the DC one step. My Athletics check is + 9. I rolled a 1. Even with my Perception Secondary Skill bonus of + 2 this fails to hit the Medium DC. 2) ** I would like to use one of my two advantages here to lower the DC one step. My Ranged Basic Attack with my handaxe is a + 7. I rolled a 1. Obviously that doesn't hit any target number. [/sblock] I'll wait for your reply as to whether it is 1 or 2 and what complications arise due to the failed roll. [/QUOTE]
