Athletics maneuvers using fist and Escape action.

So:

MULTIPLE ATTACKS WITH ATHLETICS
Several Athletics actions have the attack trait, meaning
that using them more than once in the same turn makes
them less accurate. Since these actions use your free
hand, you use the traits for your fist attack to determine
the multiple attack penalty, so your fist’s agile trait
applies. Therefore, you take a –4 penalty if the action is
your second attack of the turn, or a –8 if it’s the third.
Some weapon traits allow you to take these actions
using a weapon, in which case the penalty might be –5
or –10 if the weapon doesn’t have the agile trait. Some
characters can get unarmed attacks without the agile
trait as well. If it’s unclear which penalty to use, the GM
makes the call.

What about Escape action? Does it apply those agile traits?

If it does, what about Slippery Pray skill feat and Acrobatic Maneuvers Swash feats?


Escape is not listed amongst the "Athletics actions" and as such doesn't qualify for the use of the first's Agile trait.

Also, it makes sense as you don't escape with your fist but with your entire body.
