Acrobatics, wind, & rope bridge


Rules Questions


I see under Acrobatics skill that you have the following modifiers;

slightly wet +2 (it's raining hard)

Moderately unsteady +5 (the bridge is swinging)

However, I can't find any rules for acrobatics affected by wind?


That's 'cause it isn't. Progress can be slowed or even halted by wind, but whether you're walking, tumbling or gallivanting is irrelevant.

Props for using gallivanting in a sentence. That's a word I'd like to see more of.


I would like anyones idea on how to calculate this accurately?

-2 circumstance penalty (or+2 to DC).

"One handy rule to keep under your belt is the Fiat Rule—simply grant a player a +2 or a –2 bonus or penalty to a die roll if no one at the table is precisely sure how a situation might be handled by the rules." CRB 403.

Thanks for the Fiat Rule. Why is it called this?

Probably because it's small & you'll get great mileage with it.

No, it's a proper english word. Maybe it's a little obscure, but it has nothing to do with cars.

Collins English Dictionary:
Fiat

1. official sanction; authoritative permission
2. an arbitrary order or decree
3. Chiefly literary any command, decision, or act of will that brings something about
[from Latin, literally: let it be done, from fierī to become]

Definition 2 is the relevant one.

I know that, I don't think the person who responded to you did. I may be wrong about that.

Just re-read this thread and realized that was where you were coming from. Not sure how I gapped out and missed it the first time through.
