Dodge Roll

Cost: 5
Ability Type: Reaction
Related Skill: Athletics
Prerequisites: Athletics 4 and Basic Acrobatics

Using your knowledge of acrobatic techniques you have become adept at throwing yourself out of the way of danger and then swiftly rolling back to your feet. Dodge Roll functions as an enhanced Athletic Dodge with only half the normal Recovery Penalty (round down) for getting back to your feet afterwards. When performing a short dodge (up to half your Movement) Dodge Roll suffers no AM penalty, for longer dodges (up to your full Movement) it suffers only a -3 AM instead of the normal -5.
