Server Notes

Athletics is a combined skill governing the pnp skills of Climb, Jump, and Swim, and handles various other feats of strength DMs might call for. For the purposes of mechanics, Athletics is mainly used for the Jump action. Jump allows characters to jump a number of feet equal to the DC (DC 5 = 5 feet), up to a maximum of 30 feet. Failing the DC still lets you jump (up to your check result), but you are knocked down at the end of the jump.
