I have a question about the acrobatics skill. The core rulebook says:
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed. You can move at full speed by increasing the DC of the check by 10. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your speed is reduced due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. If an ability allows you to move at full speed under such conditions, you can use Acrobatics to move past foes.
My question is whether a barbarian in medium armor could use acrobatics this way. The first level barbarian ability Fast Movement adds 10 feet to the barbarian's speed, which means that the barbarian can move the normal speed for their race even in medium armor. But Fast Movement doesn't specifically say that it's cancelling out the armor speed penalty - it just makes barbarians faster, which happens to work out that way. Is that good enough to qualify for acrobatics or not?
Your speed is reduced from 40 to 30 due to wearing armor, so no.
