[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6185069, member: 4937"] This works and has some advantages, and resisted rolls are intuitive but well, "one extra roll". I used to do things this way. But hose extra rolls add up in a hurry as you add granularity to the game. As such, I've gotten away from resisted rolls in my house rules as much as possible, preferring to use relative DCs to determine the target. This keeps play speedy. I do as well provided you have a natural movement speed in the appropriate movement type. For example, normally humans can't tumble while climbing or swimming (or flying), but many other creatures could. Flying creatures also get a bonus to tumble on the basis of their maneuverability class. It's a pretty standard fight scene trope, that acrobatic attackers may evade lesser foes but are beat down by the highly skilled. [/QUOTE]
