Talk:Tumble (skill)

Tumbling and falling.
I have a character with minimal tumbling, but as his jumping skill has increased, so has his resistance to falling damage. Verification of how the two skills interact, overlap, etc. on this would be useful.


 * True, jump helps for that. Whether Tumbling also helps is a good question, that should be checked. Tihocan 14:50, April 11, 2006 (EDT)
 * Tumblig helps a lot IMO. I have a lvl6 warrior with STR 20 and maxed jump skill (+14). He still suffers way more falling damage than my level 2 rogue with a +10 bonus to tumble. IMO tumble reduces the damage from falling (similar to the pnp rules) and jump gives a synergy bonus of something like 1/2 your jump skill to that bonus. This is just my personal impression though, some testing probably would be good.--Ziu 03:30, April 12, 2006 (EDT)

Tumbling and AC Bonus
As far as I know, there is no bonus to your AC while tumbling unless you have the Mobility feat. There is no benefit to having a high tumble score except allowing you to dive/backflip at high ranks (36/31 respectively). Sonil 16:18, April 26, 2006 (EDT)
 * The benefit is in how FAR you tumble. As your skill increases, you go further.  This has the effect of making it possibly to avoid an attack utterly.  --KakarisMaelstrom 16:21, April 26, 2006 (EDT)
