Athletics

Characters with athletics are naturally talented in one particular area of athletic endeavor used in the Olympic games. These include foot races, horse races, javelin, discus, chariots, standing high jump, broad jump, and pancratium (combined boxing and wrestling). Only the nonmilitary gaming aspect of these activities is emphasized. This ability may be taken more than once to improve in a category or to acquire skill in a different area. For those areas which are covered under other proficiencies, such as charioteering, an athletics proficiency in the same area provides a +1 to that prof. check. A sport must be chosen when the proficiency is taken. This proficiency may be combined with martial arts to provide a +1 bonus to all non-combat checks (ex: maintain balance).
