[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7145652, member: 996"] Jumping a chasm or breaking down an obstacle can certainly come up. But swinging or tightrope-walking and getting through and around obstacles can, too. You can always break down the door or pick the lock. You can snap your bonds or wriggle out of them. It's a little freaky how closely equivalent STR & DEX can be, and in 5e, especially, it's just a matter of declaring an action the DM will go for as using your better stat. That Athletics is the only STR skill does work for you in one sense, if you can convince the DM to go with STR, you'll be proficient in the only skill he might call for to add to it. ;) Oh, and if he doesn't go for Athletics, your Champion can finally use 'Remarkable' Athlete. Agility would seem to offer up a lot of terrain-based advantages, too. Ducking in and out of cover, swinging from things, tumbling under them, etc... ...just not breaking them, so much. ;) [/QUOTE]
