With unmatched physical discipline, you have perfected a body designed for raw speed and agility. You are not a born soldier. If you served time in the military, your talents were as a scout, lightly armored and light on your feet. You may have grown up with an eye for sports. You broke records in the dash and ran for hours in marathons while others fell exhausted by the roadside. This was still not enough, and you soon began finding more challenging ways to get from point A to point B.
Climbing walls, jumping across roofs, sliding under cars--nothing stood in your way. It’s not enough just to be athletic. You have to keep your eyes and mind sharp, to gauge distances, crawlspaces, and the shortest possible route even if it involves some death-defying feat of acrobatic skill. You can keep an entire landscape in mind, analyzing paths and routes of escape, even when everyone else just sees walls. This may not be raw brainpower but a natural instinct of the surrounding environment. In your spare time, you run.
Power to Weight Ratio
Beginning when you choose this ladder at 1st level, you can always choose to use Dexterity instead of Strength for the Athletics skill, and Intelligence instead of Wisdom for the Perception skill. You can also use Dexterity in place of Strength for attack or damage rolls and when setting save DCs with all weapons without the heavy property, and you have proficiency with Dexterity (Acrobatics). Select either Dexterity or Intelligence as your primary runner ability.
Cat Balance
At 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 1. You can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature except for your primary runner ability,
which has a maximum value of 22.
Additionally, your speed also increases by +5 feet.
Additionally, if you move at least 10 feet while moving towards a wall, your remaining movement becomes a climb speed until the end of your turn. This movement can be in any direction as long as it follows a vertical surface.
Saute De Precision
At 8th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 1. You can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature except for your primary runner ability,
which has a maximum value of 22.
Additionally, if you use the Dash action, your movement increases by 1.5 times your speed (round down). You also add both your Dexterity and your Intelligence modifier to all Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.
