Interesting ways to use acrobatics


Rules Questions


I'm in a game playing a rogue with a 10str and everything else is higher. Would it be possible to throw someone with acrobatics. Not gonna lie ripping off assassin's creed a bit but did math it is physically possible. Unless the guy ways 2x more than you. Also hook blade idea, could it be useful in pathfinder.

Reference video below of what I'm talking about.

There are no options in Pathfinder for utilizing acrobatics for a Combat Maneuver.

...and I have to ask, what "math" did you do to arrive at your conclusion?


You might be looking for agile manoeuvers.


You're looking at bullrush or reposition combat maneuver.

There is no "math" to support using acrobatics to throw someone around.

There may be a special ability of some class or archetype that may allow you to replace the normal combat maneuver roll with an acrobatics roll instead, but to my knowledge none exists.


A few years back at a convention, a charging hurler barbarian with Throw Anything pitched a gnome druid over a chasm at the bad guy. The gnome druid had a readied action to wild shape, and she shifted into a large bear right before she landed on the bad guy.

That has triggered a lot of "fast ball special" builds in our area, but I've never seen one use acrobatics to pull it off. I don't see any Teamwork Feats that would help...

The best I can come up with is use Aid Another on an Acrobatics check to jump or use the Reposition Maneuver and just flavor it as acrobatics.


Ok thank you guys for the info. Game I'm in has a lot of science buff and my gm is a physics teacher. House rule a few things but thanks for all the useful tips and advice.
