If you opt to tumble over someone, or tumble at full speed, and fail, what happens? do you still make it over the enemy, and move at full speed, and they just get an attack of opportunity? or do you fall short, fall down, etc?

If you were trying to move around the foe, you still move but provoke an AoO.

If you were trying to move through the creature's space, you are halted before being able to enter it, and I think your move action (or whatever action you were using to tumble) ends.


Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

It has been clarified recently : you lose your move action if you fail your acrobatics check to move through the creature's space.

Could you please point me to the source? We had that case twice in last week's session, and I would like to have an official ruling.


It was in one of the latest erratas.

PRD has updated :

Quote:
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. You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5. If you attempt to move though an enemy's space and fail the check, you lose the move action and provoke an attack of opportunity.


Thank you!
