Tumbling fools

[Kazuel]

When tumbling, do you have to tumble to a location in a straight line, or is it possible to do a tumble that ends in curving around something; changing direction partway through the tumble?

 

[RisnDevil]

Nowhere does it say that you have to tumble in a straight line. Actually, using common sense, tumbling is not just rolling on the ground (Gymnastics would be a better definition for it) so moving in NON straight lines makes more sense.

 

[Hypersmurf]

You can Tumble as part of "normal movement". In 3E and 3.5, normal movement allows as many changes of direction as you like.

Charging and Running do not - they must be in a straight line - but since they are not "normal movement", you can't tumble with them anyway.

Going into details... if you're flying, it depends on your maneuverability whether you can pull of any turns that you want... but I'm not sure whether I would allow tumbling while flying with less than Good maneuverability...
