Balance

A measure of a character's physical stability.

Ability Score(s): Agility

Usage: Whenever a character's balance may be called into question (such as on uneven terrain), make a Balance check. It can be used out of or in combat, and when doing so the DC is depending on how uneven the terrain is.

Standing on uneven terrain similar to a rickety bridge requires a DC 20 Balance per round during combat, or per minute out of combat.

Standing on uneven terrain similar to a tightrope or shaking and moving ground requires a DC 30 Balance per round in or out of combat.

Sprinting Balance
While making a Balance check while moving at your base speed or higher imposes a -10 penalty.

Shake Balance
This is done by intentionally putting yourself off-balance and forces everyone standing on uneven terrain (such as a bridge or rope) to make a Balance check, including yourself. You make this check at a -10 penalty.
