Athletics

Your Strength (Athletics) Skill Check covers difficult situations you encounter while Climbing, Jumping, or Swimming. Examples include the following activities:

• You attempt to Climb a sheer or slippery cliff, avoid hazards while scaling a wall, or cling to a surface while something is trying to knock you off.
• You try to Jump an unusually long distance or pull off a stunt midjump.
• You struggle to Swim or stay afloat in treacherous currents, storm-tossed waves, or areas of thick seaweed. Or, another creature tries to push or pull you underwater or otherwise interfere with your swimming.
