Acrobatics Ranks and being Flat Footed


Skills & Feats


One of the coolest tactics I ever saw used for a Rogue took advantage of terrain by forcing an enemy into combat on a slippery surface forcing them to make Balance checks. Anyone without 5 Ranks in the skill Balance is considered flatfooted while balancing and they lose thier Dex bonus to AC. Enter the Rogue - with 5 ranks of balance the rogue is just fine and every attack is a sneak attack. Under the new Acrobatics skill this doesn't seem to be possible. Is this deliberate or is there a way to enable this cool Rogue Tactic in the Pathfinder RPG?

Cheers,
C.
