A character may carry out acrobatic maneuvers such as tight-rope walking, tumbling, gymnastics or trapeze artistry.
To do any of these acrobatic maneuvers, the character must make a dice roll using his/her Athletics (including Acrobatics specialism) + CO.
The difficulty depends on the maneuver being attempted, for example:
| Manuever | Difficulty |
| Doing a somersault | 3 |
| Doing a hand stand | 4 |
| Doing a head stand | 5 |
| Tumbling | 6 |
| Walking a beam | 8 |
| Catching a trapeze | 9 |
| Walking a tightrope | 10 |
| Somersaulting and catching a trapeze | 12 |
If a character fails the dice roll, he/she will not succeed in the maneuver. If he/she fails by 3 points or less, he/she will fall, but may be able to recover his/her balance if he/she makes a dice roll (e.g. to hang on). If he/she fails by more than 3 points, he/she will fall and cannot reach out to save him/herself in time.
A character who jumps or falls onto the ground from a height may suffer falling damage.
A character may be able to do an acrobatic roll on landing, in which case he/she will take less damage from the fall than if he/she had simply fallen normally. He/she can add to his/her damage resistance half the result of a dice roll using his/her CO + Athletics (including Acrobatics specialism).
If a character has a negative result from the reducing damage dice roll, then he/she mistimed the maneuver and actually takes more damage than if he/she had simply landed normally. His/her damage resistance is reduced by the number of points by which the dice roll result was negative.
