Desperate Dive

You can leap behind cover, even when caught out in the open.

Prerequisite: Trained in Athletics

Benefit: Once per round, as a Reaction to being targeted by a ranged attack, you can make a Athletics check to Long Jump, into a square that will grant you Cover. If your check meets or exceeds the Athletics check DC, you land prone in cover and gain the Cover bonus against the attack, depending on the type of Cover you have. If your check does not meet the DC of the Athletics check, you land prone in a square adjacent to you, and you lose the benefits of being Prone against a Ranged Attack.
