Server Notes

Acrobatics is a combined skill governing the pnp skills of Balance and Tumble (Perform (Dance) could be considered part of it, too).

Tumbling/Kip-up only works in Light or No Armor.

Acrobatics now allows tumbling past opponents (DC 25 check to move behind your opponent), and to immediately end any Knockdown effect on you with a kip-up (DC 35). This is not Knockdown immunity -- you must use the Tumble action from your combat actions bar to break an ongoing KD effect manually. In addition, new Knockdown functions (like the new Knockdown code) will reduce the duration of a successful knockdown on you from 6 seconds to 2 seconds if you succeed at the kip-up check. Tumble/Acrobatics still applies its passive +3 AC bonus for now, but this will likely be turned off and moved to buffing Fighting Defensively AC instead during the PvE rework.
