Coordination (Agility)

In the course of adventures, characters sometimes find themselves needing to stay stable on unsteady surfaces, crawl through narrow openings, or even land safely after a fall. Overcoming these types of challenges requires a sense of balance and a heightened degree of flexibility, both of which are represented by the Coordination skill. Coordination serves as a measure of your character’s flexibility, sure-footedness, and hand-eye coordination.
Your character should use this skill if…
• Your character tries to swing back and forth on a rope or rappel down a structure.
• Your character walks across a narrow surface while trying to keep their balance.
• Your character tries to squeeze into a tiny or cramped space such as a crawlspace, sewer pipe, air duct, or narrow crevice.
• Your character falls and needs to try to slow the fall or land safely.
• Your character needs to escape from physical restraints (such as handcuffs or ropes) and wants to contort their limbs or hands so that they can slip out of their bindings.
Your character should not use this skill if…
• Your character tries to climb up or down a rope or climb up a structure. This activity relies more on strength than agility, and calls for an Athletics check instead.
• Your character falls from a short height or onto something soft enough that they won’t suffer damage when they land, or is in any similar situation that has no consequences for failure (is lowered down a structure in a firmly secured harness, for example).
